glass cages

Hey guys is glass cages a decent tank maker? Looking into a 30x30x30 cube and there prices seem resonable. If not any other recomendations.

Has anyone purchased a stand and canopy from them as well. Pics would be great.

I just got a 20x20x24 cube from them, ordered it tuesday got it the next monday. Its acrylic and it is well built. The only thing that suprised me was they used four pieces for the euro around the top instead of one solid piece. It is definitely not as attracive as a single piece but im sure its sound. I am trying to get around to taking some pics.

check out the Vendor Feedback forums for a LOT of info on glass cages.

Personally I would never buy a tank from them. They have terrible customer service, cheap prices are just not enough to sell me on one of there tanks. And I've experienced the customer service (lack of) first hand. I'm having a tank built now, after a LOT of research and reading I decided to go with Aquarium Obssessed...

Did you purchase a stand from them as well? I asked for a quote in acrylic and the guy said that he didn't recommend?

cheap price, but shipping or driving to pick it up gets expensive, poor customer service, sloppy silicone, and ugly styling.
everytime I asked for a quote it was a diff price and the answer were 3 words or less
I'd rather by a glass tank from the mall here in town. I can get a marineland 120 for $199 -230

That was the samething that I found with them, the first time I asked for a quote I got the response "NO its not possible". I emailed them back and said, what is not possible? It took them 3 weeks to reply back with the answer. I was NOT impressed at ALL.

Ok sounds to me that they aren't very good. I think it would be great to get a thread going including all tank manufactorers and what they specialize in and were they are located and how to get a hold of them. I have had a difficult sifting threw all the threads to find one so maybe this is the answer for anyone looking to get a custome tank.
