Has anyone ever bought a large tank from Custom Aquariums located in Green Bay, Wisconsin? I'm about ready to, but I'm having doubts!!

Are you living at Wisconsin? Why are you having doubts? What's wrong with this large tank? You are not sure about quality? Have you tried to find another one in another stores in your city?

I live in Idaho. The reason for my doubts are because I've been inquiring the same tank from different companies and yet the difference in prices vary quite drastically. One company wants $3,370 and another company wants only $1,390. Why such a big difference in price? I realize the cost of shipping but WI is farther away than California.

The city I live in doesn't carry or manufacture large tanks.

Ok man! Now I see... Maybe you should buy the cheaper one. Sometimes price means nothing. The difference is really big! Call them and ask more things about manufacturing, how it was made, who made it? And ask them about quality... why they are sure about this tank? So try to call them about cheaper one and then call about expensive one. Good luck!

Thanks for your replies. I found out that the more expensive one would use euro bracing and annealed re-heated glass for extra strength and clarity. The cheaper company was going to sell me regular glass and vinyl bracing. I'm going with the more expensive one. Better to be safe than sorry. I'll get a nicer looking tank and I'll be able to sleep at night.
