About
Suncoast Aquarium Inc, known to most customers as Tsunami Aquariums, is a family-owned custom acrylic aquarium builder working out of a Clearwater, FL workshop run by Scott and Megan. This is not a livestock shop — a few visitors note they don't keep fish for sale — but as an aquarium store and manufacturer it sits in a class of its own, building everything from home displays to the large show tanks you'll find at the Clearwater and Tampa aquariums. The heart of the business is the custom build.
Tell Scott and Megan what you're picturing and the design comes back as a CAD drawing for your review, with room to adjust every detail before a single sheet of acrylic is cut. Customers commission 120-gallon quarter-cylinders, 275- and 350-gallon showpieces, and 96x30x24 saltwater systems — many spec'd with dual external overflows, center-overflow designs, and custom sumps engineered around reef mats, fluidized K1 media, protein skimmers, and dual return pumps. Reviewers single out the crystal-clear acrylic and perfectly rounded edges as the best they've ever seen.
The woodwork matches the glasswork. Stands and canopies are handcrafted and finished on all four sides, with large access doors front and back and custom staining pulled from a wide range of options — heavy-duty pieces that read more like furniture than equipment. " What every review keeps coming back to is the people.
Megan keeps you in the loop from the first consultation to the finish, and customers repeatedly call Scott a true artist who takes real pride in his work. First-time owners and seasoned reef keepers alike say they were treated like family rather than an invoice number. If you're planning a custom acrylic aquarium of any size or type, museum-grade tanks and matching stands are available in Clearwater, FL from the team at Suncoast.

Customer reviews
“Tank and stand craftmanship top notch. Better then expected took some time to get but absolutely worth the wait, Love it”
— Blake Lirette5.0a week ago“If you are in the market for a custom build, I highly recommend Tsunami Tanks. We recently received our custom acrylic setup (complete with two overflows, sump, and stand) and the build quality is incredible. They offer top-tier customization at a very reasonable price point. What really sets them apart, though, is the customer service—it's harder to find than a needle in a haystack (or a pristine reef in a storm!). They made the entire process seamless and the final product is flawless.”
— Rachel Troutwine5.0a month ago“I ordered a 120 quarter cylinder 120 gallon tank with stand canopy and sump. Great price. Nice build. Kinda long turnaround but I would recommend them to others!!!”
— Todd Perri5.02 months ago“Tsunami built my custom aquarium, and I couldn’t be happier! The craftsmanship and design are top-notch—the tank looks incredible and truly elevates my space. The team was professional, responsive, and dedicated to making everything perfect. Highly recommend Tsunami for anyone wanting a beautiful, high-quality custom aquarium!”
— andy gomez5.02 months ago“Where do I begin. I was recommended to use tsunami for my Aquarium synthetic reef. The tank is in a very prominent location of my new home, so I was a little nervous. Megan immediately put my mind at ease assuring me that she would have my back & oversee the construction. Scott was next & I could not possibly say enough nice things about him. It is rare & nice to work with someone that takes so much pride in their work. Scott is seriously an artist. My tank came out so beautiful & dramatic. I am so proud when people walk into my house & immediately gravitate to the tank and say how beautiful it looks. If any new customers find themselves on Long Island & are thinking of using tsunami, feel free to come & have a look. 5 stars all the way!! Thank you guys!!”
— david schiffman5.04 months ago“No one was at this location at 1/2/26@ 4:40 pm. No one answered phones. No signs. Nothing.”
— John “Peelburreh” Dough1.0a month ago“All I can say Is my experience with Tsunami Aquariums was awesome!! Megan and Scott were so helpful and nice with everything! They were able to design my sump to accommodate my reef mat which worked out perfectly. The aquarium shipped packaged to perfection like a tank!!! Quality of the acrylic is the best I've ever seen!! Thank you again!!”
— Rino Passione5.0a month ago“Just received my tank from them, expert craftsmanship. The work is beautiful, they were responsive to all my questions along the way and the design process made me feel like a valued customer and not an invoice number. True masters of their craft.”
— Chris Pitchell5.03 months ago“I ordered a 350 gallon custom aquarium along with deluxe stand and canopy. The final product was exactly what I envisioned, extremely high quality along with top notch service. Megan and Scott were great people to work with. If you are on the market for a custom aquarium, I highly recommend!”
— Bobby Genna5.06 months ago“Megan and Scott were great, and the aquarium a 332 gallon Acrylic, is awesome. The quality goes unchallenged. All of my fish are happy in their new home! Great people at the business. Courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. Since I live nearby, I picked up the aluminum stand and aquarium with my truck. It’s a forever aquarium!”
