I know Pentair sells fiberglass tanks with viewing panels, but are there any other good sellers of fiberglass tanks in the US?
 
Shipping a fiberglass tank is like shipping tupperware in that you're paying a lot to move unoccupied space. What part of the country are you in? Absent the window I can get used fiberglass and poly tanks on CL because I'm surrounded by fishing industry but none of the mfg's of those tanks are anywhere close and having to buy them new would be a booger.

My observation has been that Pentair has a thicker margin expectation than their competitors.

Here's an aquaculture tank shop in FL:

And another in WA:

I’m in Michigan. I think pentair is one of my better options but I’ve looked into Dolphin too.
