i would like to heard from big tank owner here too ,,so please let me know what do you think ,,??about glasscages??aquarium
thanks

don't buy anything from them. inferior quality. if you're getting a big tank get something with starphire glass front from a well-known high quality manufacturer.

my 240 came from them and i have been happy with it.

I to have bought from them (125g) and had absolutley no problems. Was very happy with Glass cages.

i am think about 220 gallon tank from them,,,this tank is gonna be on main floor so i am kinna worry about it,,,but love to hear what all the large tank owner think about them,,,before i order it,,
glasscage tank is 1300
aquarium obses,,,is 2000
elos is 4000 abit bigger
shipped,,

anyone else??

I have a 280 gallon tank from Glasscages. It was custom built to my specifications and I have no complaints. There are horror stories for every manufacturer. Let's face it - putting a vessel that holds 200+ gallons of water in your home is a leap of faith, regardless of who made it.

180 with eurobrace no complaints costumer service not good,
if you have the $$$ to spend in a ELOS or any other high end brands "spend it".
bottom line is NOT a high end product, but does the job and with a little TLC and patience you can have a great tank, ah and built your own furniture theirs is not nice
just my 2 cents

I have a 390 and am very pleased.
ReefArtist has a 280 and Poknsnok has a 220, both from GC, both are Starfire, and both of them are very happy with their tanks.
Do a search on RC and you will find lots more TANK OWNERS complaining about problems with tanks that are not from GC.

I thought you already ordered it from Elos....

I have a 225 GC tank & Im happy for the most part. I will more than likely order elsewhere next time. You get what you pay for thats for sure. I think the tank will hold water fine & looks ok until you look close... they lack detail.
I didnt have to deal with customer service except when I ordered & they didnt want to take much time making sure we were on the same page. I can only imagine how they would be if you had a problem & have heard many stories. I think next time I will look elsewhere.

still waitting for elos,call from jessie,,elos is ,,for my home
glasscages will be my business display ,,,tank,,,maybe,,,i may just give a glasscage a try,,,to see ,,,,and i may just go smaller then,,,just to be safe,,,thanks alll

We have a sticky in the large tank forum letting folks know that it is not for discussion about vendors. Thanks!

No problems here. 300, 220, 110, and a 70 all from glass cages. Had some scratches on my 300 but this is something I missed prior to purchase.

What is the website for Elos? I have been looking at the Glasscages and wanted to compare the high end tanks.

brward5, just curious have you ordered a tank from Glasscages? I got mine a couple of months ago and it was a very good transaction from beginning to end. I got starfire on 3 sides as ordered. Sump and stand were as ordered as well. A lot of people that bash them have never even ordered a tank they just spit out what they have "heard".

Have you ever had an All Glass Aquarium brand? How does the Glasscages compare to that?

I totally agree.

I currently have a 280 glasscages tank, also "HAD" a 360 gallon from them that DID in fact crack after 13 months of use there is a thread on here somewhere about it. I cant bash them too bad because if it had been their fault it probably would have cracked sooner. Sometimes IT just happens.

All things considered, I would recommend glass cages because they make thousands of tanks each year and they great majority have no issue's whatsoever.

I noticed on their website just one overflow in the middle. How does that work out? I currenty have a 120 with two overflows and I really don't like the way they look. They take up too much room. If I was to get a 180 should it have two overflows or one?
And can you specify to them how many or does it come standard with one? I also like the fact you can order a blue cover for it.

I was looking at 150g, and noticed that it had only one overflow with 2 holes, is that enough?

I checked their price and found I could get a Deep Sea Aquatic tank cheaper. They are the old Oceanic group in Dallas. The tank I got from Deep Sea is a 185. 60x30x26.

What is the Website for Deep Sea Aquatic ?
How long ago did you get your tank ?

The site is [url]http://www.deepseaaquatics.net.[/url] I bought this on 11-16-07 from the LFS and had it in 1 week. Alot better tank then Glasscage. Friends have the cage and not the quality as the Deep Sea.
also mine is the reef ready.

Did you get the neo model? I like that overflow, in the center. Awesome. How much did it cost approximately? Keep up posted on how it works out for you.
