Custom Built Tank?

Hey. I'm wondering where you can find online stores that build custom tanks? Or if there is anyone on rc.com that does it?

Thanks,

Jesse

Yea. I saw them glass cages, but I was looking for a warranty, that covers a little more than theirs.

You wont get one.


Nobody actually warantees tanks. They'll say they do, but they wont honor it. Not AGA, perfecto, nobody.

Custom stand? No warranty.

different brand stand? No warranty.

Different hood? No warranty.

hot lights close to the tank? No warranty.

Use anything other than their standpipe kit? No warranty.

If you really want a warranty, thats fine, but dont count on it being honored. I'm not advocating glass cages, but saying that warranty really shouldnt be a big concern.

Kinda figured that, but I have also heard some bad reviews from them. But they seem like a good company.

I got my 7.5' tank from glasscages. I've had it about 3 years now. I got the overflows on the sides, so it's a double sided tank. They get a lot of bad reviews, but you have to look at what the complaints actually are. From what I've seen they don't seem to be of the craftsmanship of the tank.
