Reef Savvy,

14229 SW 142nd St, Miami, FL 33186 · (305) 971-8077

I have never heard a complaint about their quality or service. Custom builds can take up to a year.

Synergy Reef at synergyreef.com for some other options like sumps and related.

I only hear good things about these two companies. Wish you the best in your experience with saltwater tanks.

Good price is a relative term...good products are not relative but require the right foundation for a great finish. Just my experience with life in general. I built hundreds if not thousands of acrylic aquariums before moving to solid surface fabrication. My customers who went the lowest cost method are no longer in the business ( I sold to aquarium stores) I think there is some correlation. Most of my current customers get the best products in the category from DuPont(R) because of the quality of the product, training, service, and warranty. These are important in making your reef tank a success as well. Buy the best product you can afford and you will not be sorry.
Just my rambling thoughts.

Synergy is no longer doing custom work at least that's what they told me when I inquired about getting one done reef savvy is very good however if that's out of your price range you should consider planet aquariums there very good.

What size tank are you planning?

I would not say Coast to coast is any cheaper than Reef Savvy. Those two would be top tier price wise. Depending on size of tank may help justify the cost. Budget will determine size and quality of tank that you can get.

My 96X32X24 C2C eurobraced tank was $7400

Boils down to budget. Theres probably a 2-3K price difference between a C2C or Savvy vs a Miracles tank.

Savvy is got a waiting list Last I heard it was over 6 months.

Yes we have to wait more than six month. Order it few month ago. Around June we will have it I think
