After reading all this and not being able to talk to someone for weeks at a time you can take tenecor of my list of future tanks and the responses from their account on here seem to make excuses and pass blame but problems never solved I'll pass
I don't understand. Is it really that difficult to send out parallel bids and wait? Business work at different cadence and it would be in the hobbyist best interest to wait for all to come back. Review and assess then follow up with any questions before picking the final choice.
Display size, glass, acrylic, vision, and more all come into play. I'd personally hate to error on haste rather than bid and details. Unless you have a hard stop date I see no reason to be impatient but that is just me.
