Reef Savvy or Tropical Aquarium Manufacturing?

I will eventually have a build for large aquarium, looking at a 500-700 gallon aquarium in a peninsula style tank with a room divider. Curious to which company would be best?

Depends on your funds. [emoji3] Reef Savvy tanks are works of art and at 500 to 700 gallons that would be a chunk of change. I have seen large Reef Savvy tanks of friends and they are very well built and I would feel safe that I wouldn’t have a seam break at that size due to the way Felix makes his corner seals. I have never seen a Tropical Aquarium tank so I can not speak for their work.

Reef Savvy certainly has a great reputation, though I've recently stumbled across a company that seems to be worth considering: TankmeUSA.

Jason Fox recommended Tropical Aquarium Manufacturing to me at a show. Said they built his 700 gallon tank he has. I personally don' know anything g about them.

I have not heard of Tropical Aquarium either, so I can't really comment on them. You sure got their name from a very reliable source. Where are they located?

I do have a "small" (125) Reef Savvy, without a few of the bells and whistles. Felix was awesome to deal with. I know I am more than happy with the quality of the tank, although it is not even close to the size you are talking about. A Reef Savvy tank that size will come with some significant sticker shock. There is also quite a waiting list, so not sure what your time frame to get the tank would be. Might be 6 months, might be a year.

The thread below is a 600 gallon tank that Felix built (on site), if you are interested in seeing a sampling of his work. Maybe @aquavista99 can chime in here. You can check out their Facebook page also, because Felix routinely posts pics of tanks he has just finished, before they get crated up.
