Right guys I need your help.
*
I thought I was sold on a custom, but I keep looking at the reefers and worry that I'll regret not getting a reefer if the custom tank isn't built to the same quality.
*
What are your thoughts? Reefer or custom?
*
Things going through my head now are:
*
Custom pros
1. Match the existing furniture
2. Pelmet to hide a tank cover to avoid fish jumping out and kids throwing stuff in
3. Made to measure and cheaper (about £1k cheaper!)
*
Custom cons:
1. Tank build quality might not be as good
*
Reefer pros
1. Look awesome and great build quality (enough said)
*
Reefer cons
1. The width will make access to the sump challenging due existing furniture and size of cabinet doors (sofa near to tank) - this is the biggest challenge for me
2. Not a steel frame, so I worry about longevity and I've seen people have issues with damaged cabinets when they receive their reefer
3. I'd have to get a huge cover, which I don't particularly like the look of
