In the NE that was a supplier to Aquasport - http://alloymetalworks.com/
In FL - RDS - http://www.rdsaluminum.com/index.html
Moved from FL to NC - Florida Marine tanks - https://floridamarinetanks.com/
Look at this sub-forum - https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=5843.0
If you're looking at Poly - Moeller seems to be the brand to look at. I bought my poly tank for the 170 from a marine surplus place. I had to modify the stringers to fit it in. Also remember you'll have to allow 1-3% for expansion in all directions once gas is pumped into it. It expands once and doesn't shrink back.
