I am new here. Thinking of building a custom tank. Who do you like... Miracles, C2C, Glass Cages, Midwest Aquariums, other? Let me here you thoughts.
 
I have a Planet Aquarium custom tank and pretty happy with it now 5 years going.
Reef savvy http://reefsavvy.com/ and Elos are pretty awesome tanks but on the pricey side.

Reef Savvy for sure. I have been lucky to see a lot of tanks over the years and for pure custom Reef Savvy is the best you will pay for and wait for it.:)
 
Reef savvy would be really hard to beat, especially now that they are offering reinforced corners.
 
I got my tank from Acrylic and Glass Exhibits (AGE) based out of Texas. It is a very nice, well constructed tank, shipped well. They use 1" pvc for the bottom of their tanks, and a powder coated stainless steel rim. Very good craftsman ship! I would recommend them to a friend.
 
Check with your LFS and see if they are aware of any local builders. You will save money on the shipping which you can use towards getting a custom tank to suit your exact needs. It's also fun to meet with them personally and be a part of that design process. If that isn't an option, I can recommend a couple folks; Jason at Clear Fabrications in the Seattle WA area for acrylic (he built my custom 80gal) and Mike at Oceans By Design for glass tanks in Bellingham WA(they used to be closer to Seattle in Tukwila and just up and moved which sucks for us in the Seattle area)
 
I have checked with my LFS... They recommended Miracles, C2C and Reef Savvy. SC Aquariums seems to have very reasonable pricing and they include shipping up front. ... I just do not see many reviews on their products.
 
You might also want to think about how fast you want your tank in your house. Reef Savvy can take a year from order placement to delivery. I don't know how long it takes for other vendors but I know Reef Savvy takes that long because two friends of mine own tanks by Reef Savvy.:)
