Anyone recommend a company that will build bespoke fishtanks for residential property.

Had fish tanks before but about to convert a room and want something different and bespoke. Anyone had this done already, what sort of costs are involved, want marine tank.

Pics would be a help as well biggrin

Well yes....

Firstly, ensure you get starfire or similar as the front panel.

I have a 10ft and a 9ft, both built on site but by different companies. One was Boss Aquariums, the other was by a firm no longer producing custom tanks.

Make sure your stand is well made - I have 75mm I Bar steel supporting mine and 4 newton blocks.

Some people will use acrylic, I've not done that so can't advise.

i have made a few in the past,but generally dont have the time anymore. I can recommend AC aquatics, Aquarium builders(google them) contact Andy...should be a much better price and quality than Boss..if Boss are still even going?? They will deliver to anywhere in the UK.
personally i dont like acrylic as it scratches like a bd, but different people different strokes and all that..
