Tank Builder Reconmendations

Recommended Posts

For me... I'll probably go for a tank builder with an office/showroom/shop that I can visit anytime... I've heard several cases where it's very hard to find tank makers to rectify problems once you fully paid them... if they own a shop... at least I know where to find them :lol:

A few of our LFS sponsors also provide this service... they may outsource... but at least you have buffer in between :)

Thanks for the info.

My current tank was made by Octo. But think he MIA. Some issues with Reefers / Shops. I just got an EA in Sengkang so planning a new tank. Either another 5ft or a 6ft. Probably a 5ft height 2ft and depth 2.5.

Since last tank make un contactable. so looking for new one.Thus am looking for a new tank maker.

Any recommendations / suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks
