What's Up!

If it were me I'd probably go with a reefsavvy aquarium. I like the idea of a custom aquarium and getting exactly what you want. I've seen one of their tanks in person and it is awesome. You can go to their website and fill out a inquiry form to get a price estimate. Here is the link: Request a Quote | Reef Savvy

Also, if you want to see extensive pictures of their aquariums they have a Facebook page. Browse through there and take a look at some of their work. Hope I helped you out! BTW, where are you from?

I saw the Reef Savvy tanks in person at MACNA and spoke with the owner/builder. I must say the quality of the tank they had was a hair better than my miracles tank. I would go with the Reef Savvy tank.

There is a brand new reef savvy tank for sale on this forum. You should check it out

i am in between Miracls and reef savvy and cant make up my mind

) leanning towards RS and then so many people happy with Miracles so i am confused

can you tell me what is the different you noticed ?

thank you <Mike

The edges of the RS were completely polished where the Miracles were not. They look cloudy in some parts and clear in others. Mostly all cloudy. Also there were a few small bubble places in a couple spots on the seam.

Got it.. how about overflow box , did you notice any major differences?

revhtree · Sep 27, 2011

No they both looked really good as far as I could tell.

I got my 4x4x2 reef savvy this year and the quality is the best of any tank I have seen in person. His prices are fair, much cheaper then what Miracles quoted me, but be prepared to wait awhile for it to arrive. Mine took 6 months

I spoke with Felix at MACNA and he is very passionate about his work and his tanks.

Go with Reef Savvy...

Love my Miracles tank...but the process of getting it was a total nightmare, I think their quality control is lacking. My first tank was sent out covered in hard water stains that I couldn't remove (the product they sent to "fix" it hazed the glass and made the problem worse), it was so bad they decided to build a new aquarium. They let me sell the old one, which barely made up for all the costs I incurred pickup/moving the tank.

My new tank is decent, but it has a single tiny bubble in the glass on one of the panes, which is only really visible when the glass is freshly cleaned. One of the seams also has a lot of air bubbles in it, which apparently happens a lot of with big tanks.

In they end they did a really good job trying to correct the issue, but it was so frustrating and time consuming on my part that I would never choose them again.

thank you guys!

Felix makes awesome tanks, well worth the wait IMO. He built WWC new show tank, it is unbelievable.

Dowtish · Sep 27, 2011

here is the link of what I was talking about. No 6 month wait here...

I have personally seen a bunch of tanks that reef savvy has built and the craftsmanship is always dead on.
From what I have been told his customer service is great. Both tanks are great. From what I read about the Elos tanks people love them. Good luck with your decision.
