I am also interested....was about to pull the trigger on a tank last night and decided to check out what people thought on RC.....a little scary to be honest, i also requested a quote from Reef Savvy but haven't heard back yet about the shipping cost.
i feel like us northern east coasters get the short end of the stick when it comes to options.
i see so many awesome tanks for sale in SoCal

I have a GC tank and would get another if value was a priority. It isn't a premium build but for a built to order tank, the value can't be beat.

Sort of happy with my 150 rimless.
I guess i'll just leave it at this : don't expect top of the line craftsmanship. There's a reason they quote cheaper than all the competition.
What i've learned is if you're going with a smaller tank, something cheaper, than GC is the way to go.
If you're spending serious coin on a tank, do it right. Go with Miracles, Coast to Coast, etc. You'll pay more, but you won't regret it.

Reef Savvy's craftsmanship is second to none. Customer service is also excellent and Felix will work with you every step of the way.

I've talked to several RS owners and have seen a tank in person, all positive, and the tank I saw was the best ever.
Also, in regards to price, when I put pencil to paper comparing GC vs RS, here's what I discovered: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2005228
Isn't there a good custom builder in NJ...CoastToCoast aquarium builders or something like that??
Other good builders: Deep Sea Aquatics and Acrylic & Glass Exhibits, however, both in TX...A.G.E. would be my second choice after Reef Savvy...some good builders on the West Coast, but shipping is the issue from there. I'm picking up my RS tank while on vacation there.

I have a DB tank (40L) but i wouldnt buy a rimless from them. they cut corners on every tank ive seen. cheap, yes, but you get what you pay for. only reason i got mine was price, but then again i dont spend more than $10 on a frag either lol.

Find a local wood craftsman, likely a furniture maker or cabinet maker (individual, not a company)...there are several here on Craigslist that appear to do really nice work at a fair price. Perhaps a local reef club member with wood working skills is another option to consider.
