    Nice tanks, but their service is horrible.

    I had a Reef Savvy tank and it was well built and my favorite tank to date. I miss it. I have not personally had Miracles, but they do have a good reputation. What size you looking at doing?

    MJB makes nice custom acrylic tanks here on the forum if you want to go acrylic over glass. My sump was build like a tank and looks really nice. FYI. You at least have a couple options available to you. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    They have AMAZING TANKS, but they are very busy and slow to respond. It is a husband and wife that run the business. Great family owned business but very slow to respond and they have a lot of builds currently. I tried getting a 90 from them rimless and it was going to be over $1600 shipped and a 5-6 month waiting period when I checked.

    Thanks jnjsad!

    If you want to message me with some dimensions I can give you a pretty close estimate for an acrylic tank if you interested in considering that option.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Exactly right... For how much you are paying customer service should be much much better.

    I think we only waited 8 months for our tanks The experience left a very bad taste in my mouth and would never do business with them again/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/mad.gif
