All Glass Tank - Opinion Wanted

[Divedog]

I have just ordered a 125 Gal predrilled All Glass tank. Has anyone had any experience with them and what are your thoughts about that brand of tank?

Also, any suggestions for lighting that will not break the bank that would work with some of the more durable stony corals?

Thanks for your input....

bigmike7544 just set his up last night. It seemed to be made very well. They are basically Oceanic now. Oceanic is no longer putting there name on the 125's you order new. They are all All Glass now. Oceanic is only putting there name on the bigger and specialty tanks is what i was told. I just setup an All Glass 72 gal. bowfront last weekend. I already have a Oceanic 72 bow and the glass is the same thickness, same silicone, all looks exactly the same, i had them side by side. I am sure you will be very happy with it. Also if you got the overflow kits with it the bulkheads are hose barbs so if you want to hard plumb get new bulkheads ahead of time.

Get off the dime and spend some money on some good lighting. Of all the places to skimp, like having your freinds build all the accesories , DON"T skimp on lighting! Besides, rumor has it you're made of money. (I still say go with MH).

Checking your spelling... It takes something away when you have to decipher your writing.

Clean up your shop or I will have to go buy some new friends to freeload off of. Besides I would hate to have to work in a substandard enviroment. The next thing you will have pontoon boat in your basement.

Asked for opinions on lighting.. Scbadiver, I choose to ignore yours. PS... get some real cigars the next time you have company or I am calling the city about the ship wreck in the driveway.

YOU brought the cigars! I just smoked 'em. Back to the subject at hand. Go with a full hood, MH with actinic supplements. You'll be able to keep everything and anything you choose. With a little tank like that one you can go with 175w MH and be fine for softies or stonies.

[Divedog]
