I have created a trail @ AntStorm:

http://www.antstorm.com/Custom-Aquariums-Sumps-and-Refugiums-3797.html

I'm looking for suggestions from others on great places online for custom aquariums, sumps and refugiums. I decided to go with Aquarium Obsessed for my tank, but I'm still researching the sumps and refugiums.

If there's any interest, I can turn this trail into a group maintained trail if folks want to help me build up the list. If not, please just respond to this thead w/ the links/sites and I'll add them in.

Thanks!,
Matthew

Did you already pick someone for the tank? If not, look into AGE (Acrylic and Glass Exhibits) for some of the best craftsmanship in the market. ELOS (elosusa.com) sells some of the most high-end aquariums out there, and they function as a complete system. Very pricy, built in Italy, but worth every penny.

Yes, I already picked a tank (Aquarium Obsessed). I'll have to check into them. ELOS is nice, but it would be ~8K+ for the system I'm looking for. I can create something equally beautiful and more sophisticated for around $4K. So, I'm not so sure about the 'every penny.' :-)

I am still looking for sumps & refugiums (likely to do a combo). I was looking at Barr Aquariums, but apparantly, he's stopping production. :-(

Thanks,
Matthew

Well, I still am looking for a good place to buy a sump or refugium. I did find some nice places along the way:

If anyone else has any suggestions on makers of sumps & refugiums, let me know. My 180g arrives in a week or two, so time for me to get busy on the sump!

Thanks,
Matthew

Trigger systems might be what you are looking for

A sponsor Premium Aquatics sells them.
