Slow responses re: tank quotes

I've had good luck with Custom Aquariums here in Wisconsin I'm having a tank being made currently with a 8 week lead time. Not bad in my experience.


There pretty good.

I do not own one but allot of people do around here do and they are great tanks.

I had a quote from them recently and it was pretty fast.

I think they not have an online calculator too that is pretty close.
 
I just ran across your thread...Check out Miracles in Canada. Great customer service and prices were very competitive. When I was looking for my custom tank I had a few places that had the slow response and like you said crappy responses. Here's my take on it. I know the companies are busy but that's not my problem. I understand they get tons of requests for tank quotes from people that will never buy the tank or are just fishing for the cheapest quote...again not my problem. Depending on how detailed you were in your request it may have had some bearing on their answer but regardless you should have received some sort of response that made you feel you were customer number one. Custom tanks are expensive and there a few companies that feel based on their reputation customer service can suffer. After talking to about 4 different companies I choose Miracles. There customer service, fast responses, and making feel like I was important is what lead me to having them build my dream Tank and Frag tank. After all you are going to be forking over thousands of dollars...better to feel like you getting dinner and movie besides just getting screwed...lol.
 
So AGE and custom aquariums only deal through local stores and none of my local stores are dealers so thats out.

Coast to coast, wanted my phone number and address before giving me a quote, I said Id like an estimate before giving out my information and they have not responded since.

Miracles is the only place that actually gave me a quote and reply at all in the 2 weeks since I emailed everyone in this thread. Everyone else did not respond.

So it looks like Im going with miracles.
 
I went with age via kingfish aquariums roughly 10 years ago. I do remember it not being instant on responses but it got done and I’m still happy with it.
 
We wanting to have my in wall 5’ 180 gallon tank built I had the same problem. Then one of the owners of LFS helped me out he took my details and worked with planet aquarium and they were quick to price it. Also dont recall exactly but I think less than 30 days had my tank and metal stand. Glass tank i should mention.

All the other folks just kept giving me the run around. Then the LFS loaned me one of there hydrolic lift carts to roll it lift it into place so all I had to do was slide it into the hole on the stand.
 
Derek is very good and I liked that always seemed to respond within a few hours. I was glad I had them do my main display and frag tank. Both came out amazing.
