Coast to coast vs Dutch aquarium sys

[sroot17]

Looking to purchase a custom rimless tank and stand from either of these manufacturers.

Has anyone had any experience with either of them?

Dutch is much more affordable. Wonder why.

Have a 75g rimless from C2C here, 36x24x20 3 sided 1/2" starphire.

Pros:

• Excellent craftsmanship.
• Silicone work is the best I've seen.
• Chris and Pat were great to deal with. Excellent communications. Being I was upgrading frm a 29g Biocube, I needed a lot of advice and suggestions. Chris was there to answer all my questions promptly via email.
• Customer Service. Turned out the only time I was free for pickup was Memorial Day weekend. Chris had no problems leaving his weekend plans for a few hours to open up the shop so I can pick up my tank.

Cons:

• Expensive.
• Delivery was expensive. I ended up making it a trip to Tom's River to pick up my tank and kept going south to Atlantic City to try to win my tank back. :lol2:
• Pretty sure this is across the board with other manufacturers. But no warranty if tank is to be used on a DIY stand.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or buy from them again; budget permitting. Hope this helps.
