    Just wandering how much anyone paid to have an aquarium shipped. Seems like it would be a lot. What's your location and what did you pay?

    I think they have a shipping calculator if you price out a tank on their site.

    I priced out a 240g and the shipping was not too bad at all, provided I met them at a semi local spot and did not have it delivered direct to my house.

    My girl is ordering me a custom cage with front sliding glass doors for my bearded dragon for christmas from them. Shipping was very reasonable, something like $65. I have paid more than that to have corals/fish and subwoofer enclosures shipped to me. It would have been $35 to meet them in Baltimore, but it would cost more than $30 to get up there and back so its easier to just ship straight home.

    Yeah, Thanks
    I was just thinking ... since I'm moving I might just sell my tank and get a new one with starphire.
    Everyone happy with their glasscages aquarium?

    Heard more than enough complaints about them going bad. Even one local shop here had the bottom seal blow out of their large store display. Personally I would not buy one from them.

    Ocea. Local guy has a beautiful cube custom made by them with starphire and it looks amazing. Great built quality.

    for starphire glass i recommend cadlights® Their prices on custom tanks are very reasonable. They can drill holes anywhere you want and install an overflow. And also very very good customer service. Check it out.

    CADLIGHTS

    and heres the # to call, if you tell him the dimensions he'll give you a quote on the phone in less than a minute. Great service. 718-266-8989
    EDIT: and just to add, i havent heard a bad thing about them. He takes full responsibility to what happens to the tank if anything goes wrong. Hes great.

    Wow... got a quote of only $120 to pick up at their pick up point. Not too bad for a 180 Gallon tank. That's from TN to D.C.
