I have bought a 120 and a sump from glass cages buying a 150 from them in a couple of months. They have great customer service and imo they build a quality tank. I would not be buying number 3 if they didn't make a good product

I just had my 2nd tank of this show up today (cracked the first one). Both have been beautiful. That tank, drilled, and delivered to your door, for $900 was by far the best deal I was able to find. TBD on the longevity but totally agree with this take on first impressions.@RDUB58 I ordered mine from SC Aquariums and it was flawless. I hate to take business from my LFS but they didnt offer what I wanted. So I had to source it myself. The link below is the 120 gal I ordered and I have no regrets.
Also have a 40g frag tank in the works from Glass Cages.

Why is it scary? How do you think the stores get them in stock?

We have some great LFS's but they are making way to much money off fish and corals to deal much with the hassle of tanks. You might find some red sea's and some smaller AIO's but not much else. They might order something for you but tell you that you have to get it home. Last tank I bought was my 200 DSA (former Oceanic that also went bust) and I waited through months of games to get that. It was delivered by semi and basically dumped on the driveway crated at 900 pounds. I want another smaller tank and still not sure who I will buy from. Petco and PetSmart tend to have the most but they tend to be lower quality. I had my share of issues in my early hobby years with those types of tanks/stands including my first, a 55 AGA/Aqueon that burst.

Sorry for replying to old post. Where did you purchase tanks from?

As others have said check out SCAquariums. Don’t get put off by the crappy website. I bought a 90 system earlier this year on a killer deal. 12mm Low iron glass, stand, sump, skimmer for around $1k - and the best part - delivered free. The build quality is excellent and a lower price than Red Sea who appear to be having lots of quality problems lately. Check out the S.C. aquariums Facebook group. Lots of great experiences. It is a small business with great customer service.

I bought my Red Sea Reefer from Marine Depot and my IM Nuvo30 from Bulk Reef Supply. I had no issue with either of them.
