Hi everyone,

I'm going to order a 5x2x2 acrylic tank, but I'm having a hard time deciding which manufacturer to go with. I live in central Florida, and I haven't found any good makers in my area. I guess I'll have to order and have it delivered.

My main choices so far are:
- Tenecor
- Truvu
- Midwest Custom Acrylics

I'm leaning towards Midwest, but I haven't asked for a quote from them yet. I'm looking for a superior quality tank that isn't overpriced, and customer service is a consideration too.

The reason I'm ordering 5x2x2 is that I found this gorgeous Tenecor stand and canopy on Craigslist for super cheap, so I need a tank to fit its dimensions. I'd really appreciate any input, or if anyone knows of a good place to get an acrylic tank in Florida, please let me know!

I thank you, and my baby midas thanks you for helping him find a home. ;)

I ordered my tank from Tenecor and it is a solid tank, tough as nails. As far as customer service, I didn't have any issues but they are no longer have a vender forum here on MFK, so it's got to make you wonder.

I haven't had experiences with any other manufacturers but from what I've read, they all pretty much have the same customer service record.
 
Okay thanks for your opinion. I've seen a few Tenecor tanks in person and they are gorgeous! Sadly, I suspect the reason Tenecor doesn't deal with MFK is because more than one person here has told them off. I think good customer service goes both ways, and both sides should be respectful. When I said "good customer service", I just want to avoid any companies that have been known to be shady.
