Hi, anyone know who to look for to build 4 ft crystal tank and cabinet, ADA style? Thanks for helping.

You can check at LFS like Seaview or Rainbow Aquarium, they sometimes stock ready-made 4ft crystal tanks (braceless design) at surprisingly good prices.

Otherwise, you'll just have to get a tank and cabinet maker to custom make it as a package... check with companies like CR Aquarium and N30.

I saw rainbow selling 360 4ft 1.5 1.5ft 10mm. I wonder how's the quality? Does it make a difference between 12mm and 10mm thickness?

Yeah, thats the pricing i saw too, the quality of those crystal tanks look quite good (the silicone seams and workmanship are consistent and clean)... usually the thicker the glass the stronger and more durable the tank should be (in theory), just that its also much heavier and costs more to make.

I guess it just depends on your preference and budget.

If you are more worried about durability, then just have to pay more and custom make tanks with thicker glass.

i was just quoted by seaview on 4 feet crystal glass last week, it's below $300. they don't have the ada-style cabinet though.

You can custom make the cabinet to your own specifications.

Yeah, check with places like CR Aquarium to get a quote on a custom made ADA-style cabinet.

built-to-order cabinets are usually charged per-foot-run, and when i asked around (east ocean, n30, green chapter etc), it's close to $200 per foot. Some place like fishy business offer discount when you're buying both the tank and cabinet, might want to check with them too.
