Hi -- Anyone know of a custom aquarium manufacturer in the Philadelphia area? I'm trying for a custom size in starphire - I've found a few places within a two hour drive, but the logistics and/or costs of delivery of the tank are scary ---

I have looked into IA out of Canada-- they are priced right, but seem to be a logistical extravaganza to get it delivered and placed on the stand, not to mention the lack of control that I have with the final product with regards to what i actually order(lots of posts here list multiple problems with low quality on final fit and finish). I'd rather stay local if possible so I can visit the shop if necessary to review the tank as it is being built.

Aquariums for you in NJ is fairly close (2 hours), and by reputation makes a very nice tank.
But, they are very expensive. The owner (John) is a real nice guy and has been very accomodating, but before I throw the big money at them, I hoped to find one more vendor that I could check out, which would hopefully give me a happy mix of quality and reasonable cost.

And no, Oceanic will not make the tank in my size. Oy, this is tough.

Hopefully someone on Reefland knows a company that is closer to me that I can explore -- Thanks!
