John and the Advanced Acrylic team killed it, they did an amazing job on my custom tank. John was a pleasure to work with, very easy going, and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond! Highly recommend. 5 stars all around.

I've gotten two amazing tanks and a sump made by John and the team at Advanced Acrylics, the most recent project being a 41" cube tank that was delivered via truck. John does truly amazing work that is flawless in every way. For acrylic aquarium gear in SoCal (possibly the US?) he is the best there is...

Custom 36" x 24" x 12" external overflow frag tank with frag racks.

I ordered a tank on Monday afternoon. It was finished on Wednesday night and I picked it up Thursday morning. They did an amazing job great communication and I'm super excited to set it up. I recommend if you're looking for something custom with great quality to hit these guys up. Thanks again Advanced Acrylics.

love my new tank! Advanced acrylics was able to make me a custom tank with a lid. it's perfect for my crabs and TV stand. lightweight but sturdy.

Lightweight and good quality. Because of it being made out of acrylic, it's really easy to handle and move compared to glass. They also make fish tanks custom made if needed. John is brilliant with accommodating with budget and working out the prices and needs for a fish tank. Pleasurable to talk with as well, 100% would recommend to anyone who needs a fish tank!

Best place to get a custom acrylic ATO container! Super fast! Excellent build quality as well as very secure packaging/transport. A+++. John is very good at what he does. Thank you John!

It was an absolute please working with Advanced Acrylics on my custom frag tank. They absolutely knocked it out of the park! Turn around time was very quick and you can't beat the quality. Highly recommend!

The custom made 120 gallon acrylic tank that John made for me came out beautifully. The tank was skillfully made and the materials used all appeared to be high end quality. He updated me on the progress of the tank while I was waiting and it was completed within the 2 to 3 weeks time frame that he stated initially. The ability to have it custom made based on my preferences and the quality of the tank itself was worth the price of the tank. I plan on recommending John at advanced acrylics to my family and friends who are also interested in getting an acrylic tank.

More 1 PatGabriel987 Gabriel 4 reviews I had an ATO container custom made by them. I placed the order on a Sunday and contacted John on Thursday to see if I could add a fitting to it, thinking they may still be getting to it or it wasn't built yet. To my surprise, it was completed and ready to ship! John was able to pull it back, add what I wanted, and shipped it out immediately after. By the following Daturday I had it at my door. Upon opening it, I found it meticulously packed. Styrofoam surrounding it, all corners protected by hard cardboard, and everything shrinkwrapped to prevent scratches. I don't think UPS could have damaged it if they tried! The container was flawless. I couldn't fine ANYTHING wrong with it. Their craftsmanship is amazing. All gaps on the doors were even, everything cut and glued with fine attention to detail. Their product is hands down in another league when compared to other off the shelf high end brands I've used, but what really stood out to me was the great service they provide. I was updated with progress pics, payme t was easy, and John was extremely accommodating with all of my request. While it's very rare to find a good product that's backed by great staff, rest assured, Advanced Acrylics is definitely one of them.

Martin G.

Customer service was amazing. Quick communication, and the quality seems great! I'll post another update to see how the tank holds up. It's only 15 gallons so I'm sure it'll last as long as I need it to. The owner is super friendly too. So thank you John!!

Kai M.

Reached out to John on OfferUp for a custom size acrylic tank for an upgrade for my ambystoma, that needed to fit on a stand with non-standard dimensions. He was really quick to reply and work out pricing, and the turnaround time was really fast! I'm sure my project is small potatoes compared to some of the massive pieces they make, but I'm glad their company does small projects too. Picking up at their shop in Orange was really easy and they helped load it into my car. Would definitely come back for future tank needs, custom or not. Thanks!

Beautiful tanks. Great customer service. Everything went smooth from the beginning to the start of the process. Thank you very much!!!

The best in the game! Extremely happy with my all white customer made tank from them ! I will most def be grabbing a BIGGER setup down the line. Thanks again John

Wow, talk about an amazing experience with a brand new business that I've never dealt with. John was a dream to work with. He communicated clearly and was available for questions. I'm super happy with the tanks and ATO Reservoir. They are super clean and had awesome designs. I can't wait to use them for my home aquariums, and for my Coral shows. 10 out of 10 experience would highly recommend. read more

This company never fails to deliver excellence. I purchased a frag tank from Advanced Acrylics, and when it came to the sump, they were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the process. I'm so happy to finally have everything up and running, and I can't wait to start adding corals! If you're in California and live near them, I highly recommend doing business with Advanced Acrylics for any size aquarium you need. I'll definitely be coming back to them when it's time for my 200+ gallon build. Thanks again, guys. I really appreciate your craftsmanship and hard work! read more

I purchased a 125 gal acrylic tank from a local fish store. I didn't know anything about Advanced Acrylics. The company that made my tank is called clear for life. 4 months later the top had completely warped my light does not sit flush and I only keep the light on about 2 hours a night. I am sick about this as it cost me $1,000 and there's nothing I can do now... When I found Advanced Acrylics I decided to give them a try as I read the reviews (of course there's always unhappy miserable people) but these guys deserve 10 stars in my opinion. I liked the customer service I liked the price. I needed it right away he rushed and got it done within a week. I will NEVER buy a tank from anywhere else. These guys know what they're doing, and they love their job the quality of workmanship is phenomenal. The care, craftsmanship and the Perfection shows my tank is "PERFECT". I am Overjoyed with happiness. The measurements are 4 ft by 20 depth and 26 inches tall. They custom made it for me. Explained everything in detail what it was going to look like and made sure I was happy with it before I put in my order and paid for it. 2-hour drive from my house and well worth it. I will definitely buy more tanks ONLY FROM Advanced Acrylics. The acrylic they use is very high quality and it looks like glass!! read more

BUYER BEWARE. Very shady seller / company. After going to reviews, I can confirm that the testimonials from those who have had a negative experience are indeed true. I purchased a small ATO from Advanced Acrylics (~$200) online a few months ago and have not received it since. No tracking number was ever provided to me when the item was shipped until I contacted customer support (John). We later found out that UPS "lost" the package. An investigation has been opened: however, John has been unresponsive and in-cooperative in handling the case and giving me back my refund for this mishap. I had been patient for months and given him alot of time to resolve this but nothing has changed; hence, why I am leaving this review to warn others. Overall, I would not recommend doing business or purchasing anything (especially high ticket items) from this company because if something goes wrong they / John will ghost you and leave you in the dust with no support. Also their phone number does not work / does not get answered so the only way to contact them is through email which rarely gets replied too. read more

John did it again. Told him I had a deadline for a tank with short notice. He got right to cutting it that night for me. 64x30x20 with custom overflow and return inlets. Also a custom 40x23x20 sump. totally crushed it. He sent it out in a week. I live on the east coast so freight shipping takes a week or so That's why I needed it done sooner than later. Couldn't ask for better customer service from him. Hope to do more business with him soon. I send him all my customers for tanks. Built a great relationship with his company.

While looking for a replacement part, I found out that this filter was discontinued and replacement parts are scarce to non-existent. I purchased a Fluval Canister filter but found out that it was not compatible with the existing plumbing. Facing the propects of having to do a replumb, and not knowing where to start, and what parts I would need, I decided to google search for companies that could perform this service. I called MK Aquarium and Kevin answered. He took the time to understand my issue. What I really appreciated about Kevin is that he decided that I could save money by doing the work myself AND he would be willing to walk me through how to do it.

When we asked about it, the groomer said, "it's just cuts" and "I just shaved it too short" no remorse at all. When we asked for a refund, she refused and only gave $10. This feels like animal abuse. We tried to support a small business, but save your money--go to petsmart or another groomer who genuinely cares about your pets. It was heartbreaking to pick up our baby in this condition. I have so much regret taking him here. This business should not be operating until they take animal safety seriously.

ALERT TO DOG OWNERS…read more PAW SWEET PAW JAMBOREE -- IRVINE Was your dog boarded at Paw Sweet Paw Jamboree in Irvine between Tuesday, July 14 and Saturday, July 18? If so, and your dog subsequently developed symptoms of Kennel Cough, also known as Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC), we would like to hear from you. Symptoms may include: * A harsh, dry or "honking" cough * Retching or gagging after coughing * Nasal discharge * Sneezing * Fever * Reduced energy or lethargy Symptoms may not appear immediately following exposure. In some dogs, respiratory infections can become more serious and may progress to pneumonia requiring veterinary treatment. Our dog became ill after being boarded at Paw Sweet Paw during this period and ultimately required veterinary treatment for pneumonia. We are seeking reimbursement for the veterinary expenses we incurred. If your dog was boarded at Paw Sweet Paw during this same period, became ill afterward, and you incurred veterinary expenses that Paw Sweet Paw has refused to reimburse, please contact us. We are interested in hearing from other affected dog owners and discussing the possibility of pursuing reimbursement through legal action in California Superior Court.

John (Owner) at Advanced Acrylics built them, for a **** good price I might add. He had amazing communication the entire time and it only took 2 1/2 weeks from the time I called him till the time it was in my living room. He let me custom design EVERYTHING about this. The quality is absolutely AMAZING. He hand polished the whole thing, got rounded corners, just ridiculously beautiful tank. I'm so in LOVE with it. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I HIGHLY recommend him and his company.

I search a lot before I made the decision to use them for my custom Frag tank, sump, and ato. They were not the cheapest but from the reviews and the pictures that I looked at they looked like they would be the Best bang for my buck. So I talked to Jon and we went over my specifications and exactly what I was looking for and I wanted to do the custom red and black theme... They nailed it and knocked it out of the park!!!! They made everything custom to order which took a couple of weeks and it came in the mail and everything was beautiful and then I noticed that there was a small crack on the bottom of my 40 inch long sump. It was packaged very well but yet still had a small crack. I called John and showed him the picture and he apologized and immediately built me another one and had it shipped out to me in seven days without any questions asked. So with that being said I am a loyal customer because the build quality was top notch and their customer service was as well. if you're reading this and wondering don't hesitate just go ahead and get it and you will be glad that you did. read more

John and his team deliver high end products. The quality of my ATO reservoir I received from them is 2nd to none. Great, timely communication from John. I would buy from them again. Plans to order a custom sump from them in the future. Update 7/20: Shortly after receiving my ATO reservoir I went on vacation for nearly 2 weeks. When I returned I came back to a very wet floor. I tried to get ahold of John to let him know my issue. I called all the numbers listed for the shop multiple times and no one ever answers the phone. I then sent multiple emails to their customer service email and even sent emails through shop pay. I did not receive a response until I submitted a purchase request for the same reservoir. My brief conversation with John seemed productive as he stated he was going to send me a patch kit to try and fix the leak. A month has gone by and I have not received anything. I still am unable to reach anyone customer service or otherwise. Unfortunately, the quality of their product matches their customer service. read more

Omg this company is not to be messed with!! Do Not Do business with this company! I spent over $9,500.00 with this guy John and he promised to take good care of me. I have been trying to give him a chance to take care of this problem and he keeps telling me yes I will send someone over to fix it but he never shows up. He's a liar and does not honor his word but do not do business with this guy or company people. Our aquatic life is our passion and for this to happen is ridiculous! Scamming people. This company has no respect for our love of sea life. I am going to sue him and send him to court so a judge can see how much of a piece of work this guy is. Despicable!! I will see you guys in court!! $100k in my house damages plus punitive damage of All the stress and chaos!! My name is Frank P. 818-770-9510 if anyone has the same problems l am willing to try and build a class action law suit because I keep hearing of multiple people having same complaints!!

I recently made the transition from freshwater to seawater tanks and got a lot of recommendations to go visit advanced acrylics for my hardware. To my noob eyes, they looked like any other reef tank supply site, but after extensive research, I ended up purchasing my sump (rimless cube), ATO (auto top-off) and my dosing tank from them and couldn't be happier with the quality. But more impressive than the quality, was their customer service. I had a some questions about the the sump and the shipping time and was helped by Sherylinn at customer care. Literally answered all my questions within an hour. Plan on going back to them for all my hardware... This might sound like an in-house ad, but there is really no other way to describe how happy I was with their hardware and their customer service! Thanks again, Sherylinn!!! read more

I definitely made the right choice with Advance Acrylics, they make top notch products at a very reasonable price. John made me a masterpiece of a custom sump and SHOWROOM tank. When the products arrived, I was blown away at the detail and craftsmanship that was put into the products. These guys really care about what they do and it shows in their work. My products were made to my exact specifications and communication with John was great. On multiple occasions I changed the sump and tank design which I know is pretty annoying but John worked with me, he never got annoyed and even helped me improved upon the design of the sump/tank. I will definitely be shopping there again for my aquarium needs. read more

This is my second attempt at the reef keeping hobby so I am trying to get everything set up the way I want from the get go. I have had a great experience with John as he not only dealt with my constantly changing needs, but help me receive a product that was exactly what I needed. I bought both the S125 - Diamond Series Sump with adjusted compartments and the ATO111 ATO Reservoir. He completed the job (2 times I might add because I changed my mind after the first sump and ATO) in record time as I had both the sump and ATO after ordering within days. I would highly recommend advanced acrylics because of their pricing and versatility when it comes to customization as well as customer service. read more

Having recently purchased the REF#248 - 24X24X8 RIMLESS FRAG TANK WITH EXTERNAL OVERFLOW from Advanced Acrylics, I can confidently say it's one of the best investments I've made for my marine hobby. The craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch, with the tank offering a clear, unobstructed view of my marine inhabitants. The external overflow system is ingeniously designed, ensuring optimal water flow without compromising the aesthetic appeal. What truly sets this product apart, besides its superior design, is the quality of materials used. The acrylic is crystal clear, allowing for a vibrant display of colors and life. read more

Thank you to the entire crew at Advanced Acrylics. This company is truly the best all around. I especially would like to thank John, I really appreciate his patience and kindness.

I highly recommend this family owned business. Anyone looking for a custom build or one of their stock aquariums or sumps this is the company for you. Thanks again John, Dan and crew. read more
