you might of dodged a bullet, maybe they went out of business because they build crappy Tanks and you just saved yourself an emergency blow out. got to see the silver lining
Exactly what happened. But their build quality was outstanding. They are good legit guys too.To my understanding the Tank builder and the owner of CRA had a falling out. They were excellent quality tanks but the falling out led to the company closing up shop.
Yikes, that is not a good design to have a company's survival totally dependent on a single person.To my understanding the Tank builder and the owner of CRA had a falling out. They were excellent quality tanks but the falling out led to the company closing up shop.
Thanks guys for your kind words, already feeling a little better.
So next step, what are some builders I should be looking at? And before everyone screams REEF SAVVY!!! Are there others that do similar quality work without having to wait another year for a tank?
The dimensions I’m trying to spec are 108-120 long x 36 wide x 30 tall... 450-550 gallons.
Something to be grateful for is that they went out of business now while you can still get a new builder and have some sort of warranty. If the builder wasn’t able to deliver your tank before closing up, I’d wager they probably hadn’t even started the build so you’re probably only out a week or two. It only takes part of a day to build a tank. The weeks you’re waiting is for the silicone to cure. If the tank was built I’d guess they’d rather have your money and deliver the tank. I’m just speculating.
Find a new builder. Miracles built mine in my home and it took a month from the quote to the build. The rest was curing. But my case is different. It could be argued I paid to have them drop everything to build the tank.

I have the exact dimensions of tank you are looking for that I got from Miracles (120 x 36 x 30) with an external overflow on one end and starfire on 3 sides. Unfortunately mine is still dry while I wait on other vendors for the final bits. Miracles was pretty good to deal with. You can see my version of this tank in my build thread.

Just trying to help ease the pain brother. I have no patience and would be so heart broken to wait all this time for nothing. I would not even be allowed to post because all the swearing I would do would get everything deleted. I hope you find something sooner than later. Maybe Santa??!!To my understanding the Tank builder and the owner of CRA had a falling out. They were excellent quality tanks but the falling out led to the company closing up shop.
