    Has anyone ever ordered off glasscages.com? Or know anyone that has?

    The prices are incredible (but I'm thinking there's a reason why). I've checked online and found mixed reviews.

    I'm looking at a 90 gallon. I don't want that tank to start leaking 2 months after it's all set up! :eek:

    For a stock sized tank like that, just get one of the normal standard tanks (AGA, perfecto, marineland, etc).

    But that said, I know of several GC tanks owned by locals, with 2 over 240 gallons and no issues.

    Actually, MIG has made more mistakes for local reefkeepers than GC has, but I digress.

    The only issue that isn't up to my standards is their use of silicone in the corners. They get a little goopy, but not a dealbreaker. It's nothing that jumps out at you if you saw one of their tanks.

    Well, you get what you pay for. They are really cheap! 90 gallon for $180 or something...

    Someone I work with had the center brace break on his. He had to empty it to avoid the tank blowing out.
