custom tank builders?

Since I am looking into upgrading my system, I was wondering where everyone got their custom built 125-250gal tanks from?

Re: custom tank builders?

Thanks Big Al,

Kodiak If you search you will find horror stories about almost all the tank builders. Glasscages.com - Home / News built mine & I am happy with it so far(no water yet). I do know of many others that have used there tanks without problems including a local shop that has 20 plus glasscages tanks. They have a bad rep for messy silicone & poorly cut glass with un-finished edges but the tanks I have seen including mine look just as good as AGA tanks. The plastic trim around the top & bottom isnt perfect but if your stand/ canopy covers it which mine will its no big deal. They will only build the sizes listed on their site but will custom make overflows, sumps & drill holes where ever you want. They also are well known for poor customer service but I havent experienced that yet, I will say some of their employees people skills on the phone are far less than good. I priced from a few companies & GC price & shipping which they do themselves couldnt be beat.

I just got my 90g from Glasscages and so far I like it. Also got the 29g sump tank with it.
