Really love the look of reef savvy rimless tanks and was excited to finally get a quote in order from them but I'm shocked at the price which is 50% higher than all their competitors!!

What's up with that?!

why don't you try reefomania as well? Mark is awesome to deal with and he's local in Brooklyn. He does great work as well. I'm considering one of his tanks for a future upgrade.

I've spoken to Felix as well. Great guy too.

Shipping is going to sting a bit. Does the $800 extra include shipping?

Yup got a quote from them too. They are the front runner in terms of price.
By frontrunner do you mean the most expensive or least?

Miracles has always been one of the least expensive when I checked years ago and coast to coast was the most expensive from the specialty custom tank builders.

I would definitely check out Mark (reefomania). His work is impeccable. I'm sure others will chime in.

I like to compare and shop around especially since I was going for a custom tank that was going to be big $. I got serveral quotes from custom builders, Reef Savvy, Coast to Coast, and some local aquarium shops that would contract to work out to other companies.

I ended up ordering a Reef Savvy tank that is due to arrive this Friday, and I can't wait. I went with Felix not only due to his willingness to talk at length about the tank that I wanted, but the attention to details. Additionally, the other quotes were close or exceedingly higher for what I wanted. Ultimately, I felt like more of my money was going towards the tank and the stand that I ordered from Felix, rather than taxes/shipping etc. The tank itself cost about the same give or take $100 from each supplier, but I wanted the whole package so that bumped things up a bit and changed the overall bottom line from one maker to another.
