Dang, sorry to hear!!!

Any recommendation from others on a reputable acrylic tank manufacturer? I’m in the market, looking for guidance.

Mine was built by tyd pool marine and seems very solid. It has been running for 8 years now without any structural issues

I have two “Clear for Life” tanks I picked up from Petsmart online for about two years without issue. One is a 4’ 55 the other a 5’ 120 gallon.

midwest custom is always highly recommended. I personally went with fishtanksdirect and am very happy.

Don't go with "american aquariums" out of pennsylvania. If I were shopping acrylic I'd go with FTD/tsunami or midwest custom.

The whole top was bowing once i emptied the water. I had to go thru hoops just to get half my money back. The guys a clown

Take the 50%, cut your losses and let the world know about your experience... what else can you do without going to court. I am sure you cost him more than the 50% you lost. Reputations are VERY expensive to repair!

3/4" should have been plenty strong! He must have REALLY messed up. Maybe he doesn't have any experience working with acrylic that thick. b What were the failed tanks dimensions?
