I am planning to get my dream tank in the summer of 2022. Based on what I am reading in this thread I would have to start contacting Reef Savvy at the end of Spring beginning of Summer next year.

Wow you are incredibly fortunate and really happy for you. It sounds like they aren improving their request to follow-up backlog they have been experiencing this year.I requested a quote from Reef Savvy and received a response within the week. We correspondence back and forth on dimensions and options because the height I wanted was to tall to go rimless. Once I settled on the tank dimensions and overflow options, I placed a deposit on the tank. I did email and call frequently to keep the conversation active and didn’t feel ignored through the quote process. Total it took about 3 weeks from initial contact until deposit placed. Reef Savvy quoted build time at nine months, but that does not concern me because the house it is going in does not currently exist.
I had the same experience with Reef Savvy. Went to the Custom Aquariums site and had a response from the rep within a couple of days. Am very happy with them. Been 9 months and have never heard back from Savvy.Well, that eliminates virtually every top custom tank builder out there. Certainly narrows down the list of builders which can be a nice side effect I guess
From the quotes that I've had it seems about a week max is the typical timeframe for quotes from 99% of builders, with the notable exception of Reef Savvy.

Sure Reefavvy is probably the best builder but for what reason? They cost the most and take the longest! Silicone work is overrated for me especially since I am adding a canopy. If I don't take care of my tank its going to look like crap regardless if its an 120 gallon aqueon or 120 reefsavvy. Miracle gave me a good price on tank and stand and delivered in 4 months. Planet aquarium was a near second but I cost factor goes way up when your above 400gallons
If you are talking pure quality of tank build then you would have to put TankMe USA way-up on that list.
it took them 5 months to get back to me and said to build my tank would take 9 months to year so i went a different way

yes that is about the right timing to get serious about working with them.I am planning to get my dream tank in the summer of 2022. Based on what I am reading in this thread I would have to start contacting Reef Savvy at the end of Spring beginning of Summer next year.
Do you have contact information for Felix? I put a deposit on a tank 1 year ago but I cannot seem to get ahold of anyone at Reef Savvy via email or calling the 1-800 number. I don't care if the tank build is delayed but just want to talk to someone to make sure my deposit and order did not get lost.R2R i spoke to Felix last week. He is a really good dude. He expressed Covid was challenging to him. His Glass distributor closed and he had a hard time getting Glass due to the pandemic. He gets alot of estimates and still has alot of jobs. Massive jobs. He explained to me that he gives quotes and he physically touches every tank. He is going to start importing his own glass. Which is unheard of and he will be one of the only tank manufacturers to do something like that. Im going through the same challenges. Will ha e ro wait 912 month's. But my God it's worth the wait. Hes definitely in his own lane.
Believe it or not Reefsavvy was not the most expensive tank build by a landslide for me it was Tankmeusa. Nothing wrong with that since I'm not bargaining. If i was I should be looking for pre-made piece. By the way tankmeusa is also 9-12 months and was as slow to get back to me.
If you want best pricing for me that came from C2C. Again, this is only for my build. Im going ReefSavvy. I'll let you know of my journey in a couple of months
