Anyone used glasscages.com

[MattS]

I've read some reviews and some are good and bad so I was wondering if any locals have ordered from glasscages or seen their tanks in person.

This is a long shot but if you know of anyone selling a 95g 3 wide (36"x24"x25") reef ready tank and stand or one very similar let me know.

Yep looking to upgrade..... .again. All I need is the tank and stand though I have everything else, I'm sticking with the amount of rock I have in the 46g

I'm not local to you, but people in my club also have mixed reviews. From what I can tell, quality is inconsistent. If you get a good one, it's great, but if you get a bad one, it breaks.

 

[MattS]

That's what I've been reading. If only I could find that tank somewhere else, it's the exact size I'm looking for. 36" is the fixture I already have and the depth would make for an interesting scape.

I'll keep looking on craigslist and the local stores and hopefully something will come up.

I have a 240 gallon glass cages tank. I bought it from someone else, and he had put fresh water in it for about a month. Quality-wise, I have had no leaks, but the two overflows were not level with each other, and I would say that the glue is not exactly perfect (from an aesthetic point of view, being very picky). I glued some glass to the inside of one overflow to bring the level even with the other overflow, which has worked very well so far. And it has held 240 gallons of salt water for the last 7 months with no issues - so far so good!

Matt, youve seen my tank. Glass cages built it.

 

[MattS]

I ended up going the used route but had it narrowed down to GC and OCEA when I was trying to buy a custom new. OCEA actually beat the GC price when you added shipping and making it reef ready. I gave him dimensions for a 48" X 36" X 24".

Here is a tank on R2R:

I have that exact dimensioned tank,3 sides with starfire glass.I like it. Never had a problem with it.

 

[MattS]

How much you asking :xd:

Do you notice a big difference with the starfire glass?

 

[bamachamp92]

Matt, give it a month or two and you can buy mine:xd:

 

[MattS]

I wish but I wouldn't have anywhere to put it. You getting a bigger tank?

 

[bamachamp92]

yea, going from 300 to 400

I tried once.

I never made it through the ordering process before realizing the customer service was horrible. That with the rumors of them not standing behind the product made me look else where.

I have dealt with ocea (they made my personal tank and through working with the store) and I have been pleased with them. They always treated me exceptionally well.

 

[litenyaup]

i want to get a custom tank...do they do that or is it standard sizes?

 

[MattS]

What most attracts me to glasscages is that I can go pick it up west of Nashville, avoiding the $100+ in shipping charges.

litenyaup, glasscages can build a custom but they also have standard tanks.

 

[litenyaup]

cool thanks

 

[kelleyga36]

Love the starfire.When first set up it was next to my old tank,and you could tell the difference.

 

[litenyaup]

IMO, Ocea delivers/meets you for free, and if you needed to pick up boaz is closer than dixon
