It takes like a day to build your own. It is very simple.

I've gone with Rick at Synergy. Though we are still finalizing the sump design itself, I've received the ATO container. It really is solid and beautiful. This makes me even more excited for the sump. Rick is an absolute pleasure to deal with.

If you're looking at Dreambox quality... well theres only one other maker I know of that builds them as durable and that's Adaptive Reef but you will just about pay Dreambox prices. However as mentioned earlier in this thread there are TONS of solid builders out there.

Elite Aquatics
Bashsea
GEO's Reef
Lifereef
Advanced Acrylics
Synergy Reef Systems
Melves Reef
And those are just to name a few.
