I had an extraordinarily positive experience with Midwest Custom Aquarium and its owner Chris Boelke. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful aquarium executed seamlessly by true professionals. My project was a custom 3,000-gallon tank with fiberglass structure and acrylic windows, approximately 10' x 8' x 5'. I reached out to Midwest initially because of the abundant endorsements they have received from MonsterFishKeepers.com members (folks who really know what they are talking about). Chris spent a great deal of time with me on multiple phone calls, understanding my needs and helping me solve a plethora of challenges across all aspects of the build, from aquarium/stand/plumbing design, to project planning, to the actual execution and logistics. There were dozens of details - some large, some nitpicky - that were important to me, and I am sure that other aquarium builders would have become annoyed at the number and specificity of those details. But Chris, admirably, never once complained or sounded irritated; he was dedicated to addressing my needs the whole way through. And in the end, the final product was even better than I had hoped for. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and a true problem solver, and he loves and takes pride in his work - all of which should inspire confidence in any prospective customer that he has both the skill and will to deliver an excellent product. read more
