What tank would you get?

Personally I'd go with Concept for a compete custom setup with a coast-to-coast and either a Herbie or a Bean overflow.

Lots of things coming up with the silicone seams blowing out on the Red Sea reefers. I would personally go through Concept again, if I am ever to do a new build display. I will most likely be getting a frag tank built next though and will definitely go to Concept. I have been overall very happy with my custom tank. At the end of the day, go custom if you want everything geared to a specific area of your house IMO.

I was talking to a builder in Edmonton, was hoping not to have to go to Calgary but if the price is right I'd travel. The builder in Edmonton says he usually goes off customers drawing for the overflows, but I'm not really sure what the best design would be.

Here's the sump I got when I was in Edmonton, it's a 60 gallon that I was gonna use after I broke the sump in the move on my last tank but after my crash I never did end up using it

If your builder doesn't have designs for you what are you going to get?

Get a 3-drain setup, and make sure they send you progress shots, and make them do a final QC check on the tank top to bottom.

I didn't do that on my last tank and the rear panel is tilted a few degrees from a sloppy placement, and there was some wierd craze-ish looking lines on the visible starphire panel that I just gave up pursuing with covid hitting stride as it was going nowhere.

That's the largest issue with custom tanks up here for some reason, rather poor quality control or attention to detail.
