So just happened upon this store because I am in the market for a custom built rimless tank. They specialize in reefs but can build tanks to any size or dimension. The store is pretty new only about 6 months old. They've got a decent selection of marine and saltwater fish and corals.

There's 2 large open top tanks that sit at the center of the fish room that are just beautifully built and populated with a variety of corals and fish. The back wall is lined with saltwater fish.



This is a $400 kessil LED light that has an adjustable color temperature. 39W LED



This is the type of rimless tank I'm looking for and they just had it sitting on the floor for another customer. This is a 75 gallon with sump holes pre drilled. Such a beautiful tank. But price tag is $700 thats $9.33 a gallon.

WOW! that 75 would look amazing panted but not for $700!

That is a riducilously beautiful rimless. But at $9/gallon. Ouch.

Binbin9 thank you for coming into the shop. It was a pleasure speaking with you.

Our custom aquariums generally run between $8-10 dollars a gallon. The one you where looking at is-36 x 24 x 20" 75 gallon - $619.00 with black silicone, 3/8 thick acrylic overflow and three holes drilled in 3/8 glass. That's is roughly $8.25 a gallon.

We build quality glass aquariums, sumps, and filtration devices.

No question on the quality the tanks are an amazing build. The price is a bit out of range for most folks.

Great people and nice fish tanks too! We looked into getting a custom tank built, but ended up going with a 155 DSA tank instead. Eric and his wife are really nice people, I will be back to look at their fish when I get mine setup...
