CASA DEL AQUA REEFING presents the 500 Gallon Custom Tank Build! HELP

SEE ATTACHED PICS

I am looking for recommendations of Custom Tank manufacturers of Rimless Glass and PVC/Acrylic Sumps..

Dimension of Main Display

96" (L) x 28" (D) x 30" (H) ( Low Lead GLASS)

Sumps

(2) 30" L x 24" D x 20" H (Acrylic/PVC)
(1) 24" L x 24" D x 20" H (Acrylic/PVC)

I had been struggling :headwalls: trying to find manufacturers not wanting to push me into an acrylic main display.

Any referrals would be appreciated.

LOCATION: San Clemente, CA

I would check Crystal Dynamics. They are wholesale only so you will need to work through a dealer. There are a number of dealers not far from you (OC Fish right in San Clemente being one of them) though since they are out of Oceanside. They did a nice job on my 270.
It was worth getting prices from different dealers though as each dealer marked the tank up different amounts, some being pretty significant.

Since you in SoCal I would go with the following:

Tank - Crystal Dynamics
Sump - Advanced Acrylics

Both are local. Advanced Acrylics does amazing sumps. The couple CD tanks I have seen looked really nice and their prices are not super high. AA had a modular sump system like the one you posted at RAP this year so they can do it.

I do agree advanced acrylics can produce a great sump. I'm more concerned about a rimless main display. Trent stated he wasn't willing to build that big without eurobracing.
Elos and Miracles has agreed to make a rimless tank, just looking for other high end options ?
