I am in the design process for my new in wall project. I am thinking a 54x28x24. I am also thinking leemar eurobracing in case I move in the future, it would go with me.

Where are your tanks from and what special items did you get or wished you got.

Thanks

I'm also looking at a glass tank. I notice you're from Sacramento. LeeMar doesn't ship to NCAL. I wanted one myself. You'd have to buy a tank through a SCAL retailer, and have them ship it to you, or you pick it up yourself

I have a Lee Mar and the quality is great. I would have the back and the Eurobracing drilled for closed loop intakes and returns.

My custom Miracles starphire cube was purchased through Oakville Reef Gallery.

I'm sure Miracles ships to the USA

Thanks. I would most likely drive to get it. There are some cool shops down there.

I just bought a custom cube from LeeMar through Exotic Aquarium in Sacramento. Talk to Matt.

Really? Is your LeeMar warranty still valid? I spoke to Brian from LeeMAR yesterday, and he told me they don't ship to Northern Cal. He recommended an LFS in southern cal for me to call. I spoke to Sean at Vivid Aquarium, and asked about LeeMar not shipping to NCAL. Sean said LeeMar will ship, but won't guarantee that "the tank will arrive in one piece".

I would be very interested in buying through Exotic Aquarium if you still have a valid warranty

I just received the tank in the last few weeks. It came with a warranty card to fill out and mail back to LeeMar. LeeMar builds a nice tank -- I would recommend them. Like I said -- talk to Matt at Exotic.

Thanks for the lead. I just called. Matt is off, but I spoke with Nelson, the owner? I asked him about the warranty issue. He clarified with me:

LeeMar won't guarantee that the tank arrives in one piece, but will honor the warranty against leaks, etc. It's just my responsiblity to ship it back down south. I also called LeeMar, and they confirmed this. Basically, it's up to me to crate the tank, and deliver it. That's fine with me. Sure beats driving down to LA.

I'm having Nelson price a 180g with starphire front. May I ask what size tank you bought and how much it cost you?
