I would recommend getting in touch with Doug Lehmann here on CMAS. He is a master with DIY acrylic projects.

He may be a bit busy after last weeks power outage loss (Sorry about that Doug), but he has made several tanks and sumps for others here.

I had my tank made in Portland, OR at Envision Acrylics. Perfect work. It is not local, but worth the $ to have shipped IMHO.

There is a guy in st louis that makes great tanks. His name is art and he works through all the st louis reef stores. You can ask about him on the slash and seasl boards

From what I have seen, James (Envision) does some very high quality work at a reasonable price. They ship through Estes so if there is a hub near you (there is one in Elgin), you can pick it up from there and save on the "to your door" charge.
