My 115 tall is from GC. It was a good price ($250 shipped? can't remember) and I am overall pleased with it. It is well built with lots of bracing. I have had it full of water for almost a year and not a single problem with leaking. the silicon in the top brace in the back turned a funky yellow color, but haven't noticed that anywhere else in the tank.

If you are looking for a show tank I would take a look at all the vendors on the market. I had ordered a rimless tank but it came in with a rim. I was surprised to see this on their last shipment. The silicone seams were my issues on this tank. I will order again from them in the near future.

Yea, cruising thru the reviews, it seems like you have more trouble with GC if you try to get custom work from them. If you buy something from stock it seems thats where the get their most satisfied customers. I know when slone ordered his tanks they messed up. He wanted tanks drilled in the back, but instead they drilled the bottom and he had to redesign his system.

could use a little scrubbing... but hope this helps...
overall pic from the front:
Pic of the side and glass (the glass is pretty thick)
pic of the top bracing:
and the back bracing (hard to see in this pic):
the back bracing is a strip of glass running the whole length of the aquarium. It is more convienent this way because all your plumbing only has 1 inch of back glass to hang over rather than 3 inches with the front bracing.
I guess the yellow coloration of the silicone went away, perhaps it was some weird algae growing along the back of the tank, or maybe it was in my head? who knows?
