    Sounds great Diana! Have you had any work done from Aqua Creations? When I Google it they are one of the ones that come up Also, do they do only custom tanks or would they do an install on a Red Sea? I had priced out a 70 gallon custom tank once (not from them) and the tank alone was over $3000
