I do think they have the glass pre cut at least in height. When I ordered mine I wanted to go 32 but it was 30 or 36" wide.

With glasscages it is hard. I had a hole that was chipped out pretty badly and a chip in the end of one of the sides of glass. Not something that gives me great piece of mind when I put 200 gallons of water in my house. I took pics and sent them to the owner and he said it should be fine. So I took his word for it. Would I rather have a perfect tank hell yeah. Would I pay double what I paid at glasscages from miracles? Maybe. I just wish there was someone building tanks in the north east that I could pick it up from and not pay the hundreds of dollars in shipping.

But my tank is up and is doing fine. I beieve it will be fine for the long haul. But would I buy again I dunno. I imagine for my next tank I would pony up for a manufacturer that will make my tank perfect. I believe if you where closer to Glasscages you could address the problems early. When I picked up my tank at a local show it was paid for so what do you do send it back and wait 3 months to get a new one or maybe they don't send one?

I believe their tanks are structurally sound and their build is solid its the little things like drilling that is the problems. maybe have them take pictures of the holes before they send the tank. If they won't do this ask for your money back.
