All Glass Aquariums is one of the leading aquarium manufactuers around. In fact, they're so good, they're the only aquarium we carry at where I work. We've a few Oceanics in now and again, but those you're going to be spending a whole lot of money on.

If you can't find a tank already made to the specifications that you want, you may want to enlist the help of your local contractor, who may be able to put you in touch with a glass smith that could custom make it for you.

Hight does matter, because whe you think of the weight of water, you don't want your tank to become too top-heavy.

Hmm..to find a glass smith check your local phone book. Go to a proffessional framing shop and talk to somebody there on where they get their glass from.  I know there is a glass place not far from my house that installed my new car winshield when a pebble on the expressway cracked it, they might know. Home Depo or Lowes may be able to put you in touch with a wholesaler or someone.  There are also companines that advertise custome aquarium manufacturing, you just have to search around the internet to find them.
