300 gallon on order

Wow I have never seen this with Lee Mar, I have received 3 large tanks over 180 gallons in the time this post has started. I am expecting a 220, and 5 of the 10 70-gallon tanks I ordered for the remodel today. I am not looking forward to writing that check though.
 
Guess Lee Mar is slipping a bit, my 220 is delayed till next week and they drilled the return hole too small in the 5 store tanks. They should have those re-drilled by next week though.
 
I found Lee Mar web site and sent them a e-mail here it is

Hi my name is gary smith, I ordered a 300 gallon glass reef ready form my
lfs (Majestic) here in tucson az. I payed them on 4-1-06 they told me you
(Lee Mar) said it was 2-3 week dilivery. It has been 8 weeks and I am
without my tank. What is going on? This has been a very bad
experience.Everyone on reef central say you guys make good tanks but if this

is true is it worth the wait? I am not the only one that has had this
problem recently a guy I know in sierra vista bought a lee mar and had to
wait 7 weeks because it came in damaged. Other people on RC are starting to
say the same thing. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Here is there reply

Hello,

I do have your order in my system it will be del Next Thurs to Majestic
Sealife. We are running two to three weeks in are turn around times, even if
they come back damaged from del we turn tanks around in a week to get them
back to the customer. All I know is that we are on time for our quoted del
of this tank as was told to the store when order was placed. I am sorry you
have waited this long for your tank, but I do not now why it has taken 8
weeks from the time you say you ordered it.
 
even if they come back damaged from del we turn tanks around in a week to get them back to the customer. What do you think about that statment Mike ? 1 week times 5 right

Something I figured from the beginning. I don't think the tank was ordered when it was said to have been ordered.

That's the line I picked up on.
 
In my experience Lee Mar is true to their word. The 220 I was expecting this week was given a 2 week time quote due to a measurement issue with the first tank, but they just missed the 2 week deadline. I will get the tank next thursday along with my 10 remodel tanks.
 
I know I am being jacked around but I do not think it is fair to say it is my lfs as the only one I have caught in a lie so far is Lee Mar.I am not saying my lfs is not at fault but they have not proved to be yet. The (Lee Mar) sump I ordered though them came in a week because it was a stock item. Also they offered me a 200.00 credit for all the trouble.
 
Here is a few pic of my 100 gallon sump

I'll have my fingers crossed for ya.

I haven't seen the foam baffles like you have in your sump. Does that make a better bubble trap than a glass baffle?
 
I do not think it will work any better but what I like about it is the fact that you can run your sump level lower without running the sump pump dry. Also if the glass bows it will not break the seal as it is not 1 fixed piece.
