These guys are actually about 20 minutes from my house. Visited their facility recently as my uncle ordered a tank from them. It hasn't come in yet but when it does I can keep you posted. The place seemed great and the staff was very knowledgeable. The only thing I don't like is their sump and overflow choice. So if you do, I'd recommend having them drill theaquarium, but installing your own overflow and sumpLooking into a new build of a 96/30/24 starphire rimless and have been looking at customaquariums.com tanks.

I have their 8’ x 3’ x 30” tank. It is a great tank. They also package their tanks for shipping really well and include a rental of 12 suction cup handles for lifting the tank.
Workmanship is perfect, with aluminum top, bottom and cross braces.
Note that these are very heavy tanks, it was over 700lbs and very difficult to carry down stairs.
Nooooo! (Joking, they aren’t that bad.). You want a Modular Marine or Exotic Marine Systems overflow instead. The Synergy overflow is not well engineered. Loud from water falling because the rear box is way too low. And not as safe if you want it quieter (never gets close to silent). While Synergy is strong polycarbonate, it’s flimsy because it’s thin. Fit and finish is poor as well.My plan is to have them drill it, I want to put in a shadow overflow and I love the thought of not having to fight with bulkheads on the bottom. Sounds very promising so I’ll be giving them a call tomorrow.

Waiting on pictures! Lol! I got a quote today and it was surprisingly reasonable even with delivery.I have their 8’ x 3’ x 30” tank. It is a great tank. They also package their tanks for shipping really well and include a rental of 12 suction cup handles for lifting the tank.

Is yours rimless?I have a 8 x 2 x 2. I agree dont use their overflow. I got it to work by modding it.
No, I like framed tanksIs yours rimless?
my plan is to go with the Modular Marine external overflow regardless of what tank I go with.
