OK. Well, finally got a new builder. I went with Fluid Designs. Dave is a really nice guy and seems very honest. I ordered the tank 3 weeks today and was given a 4-6 week lead time. It should be done "soon" ( I really hope). I also bought a new sump from them which is supposed to ship today. The one in this thread was just too big for my stand. My stand was build with 4x4's, so the overall width took a good hit and the sump was rubbing on the sides.

Tank is done! In only three weeks!

New sump is here and the tank is schedule for delivery Tuesday.

LOL. Thanks. Not sure why the pictures come out that way, but the backsplash is the tank size.

Yeah they finished it in 3 weeks and I had it at my door 6 days later. Its 72x28x22 starfire rimless with external overflow.

Im so ****** livid right now. The back panel is cracked. It looks like there was a small crack on the back bottom panel, that I did not see. I don't know what to do. The manufacture is going to blame the shipping company, but I signed for it. The original crack was so small.

 

[Breakthecycle2]

I just don't give a **** anymore.

I'm so sorry to hear this. You've had a lot of frustration - have you contacted the manufacturer? you won't know what they will say until you contact them. I went through two cracked tanks (upon delivery) until I got one delivered crack free. I went through amazon and they did right by me and sent the crack free third tank.
