Tank brands and set ups?

[albert_dao]

You strictly interested in the "modern white" look and feel of the RS? Or are you interested in fancier stuff like modern hardwood + flat frames?

Here's an example of what I'm trying to describe:

In Zebrawood



Walnut



Pauduk (an.... Oak, I think?)



etc, etc.

Just asking because there are options which, if it calls for, are an easier fit into a household/office setting.

Honestly, if it is feesable I would love to see what options I have with those cabinets.

I am finding it difficult to start with a tank build because of this.

Does anyone have a number for the concept company? I sent an email and haven’t gotten a reply. That being said I would like to go with a company that will be around for the forseable future, sounds like concept is on the way out?

Well I don't do any tanks, but feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to talk cabinets. I build and install them for 19 Islands in Edmonton.

Hi,

I have a 2 year old 150 gallon 72x22x22 Concepts Tank that is Eurobraced and black trimmed with 2 dead silent Jackson overflows (one at either end). I paid approx $1,000.00 not including shipping. I would sell it for $550.00. For sale separately, I also have 75 gallon refugium beneath the tank and a 40 gallon sump in the basement and power heads and return pumps, etc. But, no stand as tank is custom built on our front split level landing.

Messaged you, but I do see you are in van city.

OP - you have choices for a tank your size. There is a DD available from I think Marineland through J&L. Many here have used them.
Concept makes great tanks based on feedback.
A-I-O tanks are costly and from ones I've seen aren't worth the costs if you are handy.

Not part of the OPs post, but it came up ...

Poor Dave @ Concept. Too much hearsay going around. Don't you think he has enough to deal with, without trying to put out fires from 'bad internet info'?
Give the guy a chance to change his business plan while he is trying to keep the business running, will ya peeps? I've never bought a tank from him, but I dealt with him personally back in their hardware days and can tell you the service was top-notch.
Enough with the 'I think they are doing this' or 'I heard they are doing that'

If you haven't heard it from the Horse's mouth ... well, zip it
