Nop, not yet. The original plan was to have the sump and other equipment set up in the garage but the plan has changed. Now everything is going to the basement :(. As you know, I cannot get that tank to the basement myself so everything is on hold.

I am hoping to have a friend over to help in building the stand for the sump and get plumbing set up so when the tank arrives, I can leak proof the tank and move it to the spot.

Guys:

Since I refused to be a sucker and I have been a sucker long enough on this, I am looking for another tank builder. Can you guys recommend a place??

I have a new baby on the way and I have to get this done within the next two months. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[scarletknight06]

i read good things on the web about ocean image aquariums and they are in PA, club sponsor too

[montepora]

Thanks for the input, I will check them out. Do you know anyone owns tank built by them??

[scarletknight06]

no i have no first hand experience with them. I've read 2 or 3 threads by people in the reef discussion forum who had tanks made by them and liked them.

[montepora]

Thanks buddy.

[cali_reef]

What happen?

[RichT]

Did you put down a deposit or anything?

[montepora]

Yes, I paid deposite in Jan. I have already contact my CC company to dispute the charge.

[RichT]

Thats too bad. Sorry you have to go thru the aggravation. Good Luck!

Pierce:

I am fed up. I contacted the person and told him that he selected a poor vendor for me and that my patience is running out. I PMed you his response.

I am fed up, I rather pay more to have someone more reliable to do this than give me all the run around like I am a fool.

[RichT]

When you get this all sorted out, can you let us in on the details. I would greatly appreciate it as I'm sure others would as well. I have the itch to get a larger, custom tank (400g +/-) and would definitely like to avoid whatever aggravation I could.
TIA

To make the long story short. A person I consider friend found out I was planning a large tank and pursuaded me to go with AO. He offerd to manage the project and get me reasonable rate. The rate was definitely reasonable but rest of the part was nothing but HORROR.

They cannot read the blue print. They try to get me to put cross braces on the tank that I had stated from the beginning that I wanted an Euro-brace tank.

I can go on and on but there is no need. I will dispute the charge and go with another vendor.

Do not buy from AO.

[cali_reef]

And don't buy from your so called "Friend", he now have a track record for screwing people over.

Selling old stock and lying, I would not call that friendship.

[jnfallon]

email tony at reefexotics.

Saw his tank (450g 96x36x30 the other day and its pretty awesome. Euro-braced 3/4. Very well done.)

I believe the manufacturer is in Bklyn. I think my tank is from same manufacturer, but I bought 2nd hand so not sure. The person I bought mine from had new one made from same ppl. He's very happy too.

[cali_reef]

jnfallon..
Tony got his tank from Canada and I really think Andrew will not be talking to Tony anytime soon:D.

[cali_reef]

John bought his new tank from another Canadian tank builder.

[jnfallon]

A-ha. I was afraid of that. Sorry Andrew, that sux.

OT, pierce will you be at MR trade this weekend?

My tank is ready and will be ship out early next week.

Will need some bodies Saturday. Please let me know if you can assist. I am in East Brunswick, please let me know and I will PM you the address.

[montepora]

Oh no, that day is the meeting day huh...:(

Sunday is meeting day. Saturday isn't, but we're going to be crazy busy this Saturday. We'll be driving through around the 330 time frame though just in case that works for you.

[montepora]

Phyllis:

I have to see the tracking info. Will keep you posted.

[scarletknight06]

I'll be in DC on sat. so cant help then. Keep us posted if the date changes and hopefully I can give you a hand.

[Reefdrumz]

This went from being really good timing to really bad timing..

I'm not sure about Saturday...with all of Sunday being consumed by the meeting...I'll be busy as hell on Saturday..

Post a time and I'll see what I can do.

[blange3]

Sorry, spending Saturday in Cape May with the wife. If things change, let me know.

[montepora]

OK, the update just came in. It will be not in this Saturday but the following one which is the 27th.

Derek told me that I will at least need four guys. Please let me know if you are available on the 27th. Thanks.

[JCURRY@WESKETCH]

I think I can give you a hand in the morning on the 27th. LMK

[montepora]

Thanks, now I need one more. :)

[Reefdrumz]

I dont think I am going to be around... I actually have to help someone else move.. But I'm not sure of the time.. so if it falls in the right time frame I can still possibly help.

[MCWarhammer]

I think I'm avail on the 27th, I just gotta double check, I'll keep you posted.

[montepora]

Thanks guys, will get the confirmation for the time then wil post it here.
