Large Rimless Tanks

I've been wanting to replace my frag tank and main display tank with one big rimless tank between 150 and 250 gallons. I however haven't seen to many of them around here.

Does anyone locally have one I could come check out. Also where did everyone get them?

What are some of the negatives of having a large rimless tank?

Sorry its "seti007" ask him for pics his stuff is sick and wrong !!!!!

So what does Miracles mean? I always see it but I'm pretty ignorant on all the rimless tank stuff. All I know is that I think the big rimless tanks are beautiful .

Just like Ryan said they are based out of Canada, I would not recommend they though. I like my tank but I expected a little better quality for the price I paid for it. I would highly recommend Reef Savy though

I think Eric does. His name is Fire Shrimp here on the board. He used to own Marine Aquatics which is now ReefOn. I bet any LFS can order them but I would want to know who they use and see pics of their work first.

Like tyler said, plan on at least 2k for good tank. Miracles quoted me like 1200 for a 36x24x20 tank with external overflow.

Asad/seti007 could be very helpful to you. He does good research on everything he does. I'd call and go see his awesome tank, that was btw, built by Eric.

I've seen Asad's tank up close along through the years. Well worth the visit, plus, he is a great friend and has always been an inspiration to the hobbyist in me. He and I made the first trip out west to find Utah Rock.

Here is his tank build thread: http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35604

Here are pics of the tank after conversion to his DIY LED's: http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47666

If you are looking for a builder I would contact Reef Savy, I wish I would have gone through them to get my tank Felix at Reef Savy builds some of the best quality tanks I have seen. They are located in Florida. Expect to drop around 2k for a tank this size though they are pretty spendy is the only downside But worth it, they look awesome

I contacted them for some quotes.

Where have you seen their tanks?

Who should I contact for a quote from miracles?

I just looked at the link and sorry to hi-jack ur rimless but the bare rock in his tank thread is gone !!!!!! I was at his place on frag fest , all i can say is take any 500g from a lfs add like some odd ball high end stuff thats big and have lots we havent seen and stuff it into a 150 and thats what he has .........But Eric is on Ksl now its aquarium masters if I rem correctly :)

Rimless is completely topless too or just without the frame looking pieces? I think mine is considered rimless with a euro brace maybe?

So here is the space where my tanks are. I want to replace the two current tanks with a large rimless where the frag tank currently is. That little space where it is is 84inches by 48 inches deep.

I thought a 5 foot by 3 foot tank might be good because it would still leave a little room on each side for viewing. I'm not sure though. Whats everyones thoughts on size?
