If you have a link, post it here. Find out the specifics of the tank(thickness of acrylic etc). There's plenty of very knowledgeable people.

I have seen their site before but never saw any feed back. I would ask them for testimonials from previous clients or maybe they can direct to a build thread for one of their clients. I know the guy that built my tank follows my thread and often sends potential clients to it for a reference which I am very glad to provide. If they truly are the best at building acrylic tanks as they state on their opening page....I'm sure they have many happy clients that would be very happy to provide a reference.

Good luck!

I see them post on CL all the time but never heard anyone talk about them. Over in the DIY section they have an acrylic thread which is where I posted my 600 gallon acrylic before pulling the trigger. Make sure thickness of acrylic is good and most importantly when you pick up, check EVERY seem and make sure it has no bubbles. Any on the side/back/front/bottom seems should look very clean. Top bracing sheet can have some bubbles because it's just for structural integrity, not holding water

Acrylic Fabrication Thread

I requested a water test before I'd hand money over on my tank but I bought from private party who had never set up the tank before.

It's still acrylic, much easier to scratch than glass.
