Anyone used these aquariums?

NeveSSL · 01/05/2007, 12:49 AM

Hi all! This is my first post... I've been reading the crap out of Travis' post and several others. To give background, I just got a FW tank about 3 or 4 months ago and love it, but my wife and I want to eventually do saltwater (probably a year or two away, tho). So I'm just researching and starting to find where to get what and reading like crazy.

I found these guys on eBay and they are local, so I could go pick it up. They seem to be doing well on eBay and people are satisfied. I am just curious if any of you guys have used their tanks before. They have really good prices and could be a really good source for me to get some tanks (eventually

).

Heres the link: http://stores.ebay.com/Custom-Aquariums

Also, how can I find local "reef clubs" (I'm not sure exactly what they're called)?

Thanks much!

Brandon

Glass Cages is in TN isn't it. They make reasonably cheap tanks.

yes it is in Tn. and a alot cheaper than any of those. i got a 70GT with 3/8" low iron aga and a solid oak (not sawdust and glue) stand for $300.00 total. www.glascages.com is the place to go. ive been to the warehouse and saw the biggest tank ive ever seen. IT WAS 4,000 GALLONS!!! 8 overflows, but it had not been drilled yet. i forgot to ask the diameter of the bulkheads, i was in awe and at a loss for words.

ccorpse27, they have a listing on ebay but, you have to pay ebay something, skip the middleman and go to the source.

Good luck NeveSSL in your hunt for the perfect tank, and have a great day.

before you order from any tank manufacturer, i suggest you search them on hear and read the reviews posted by those who have purchased before...

Exactly my purpose for this thread.

Thanks for the replies, guys... I'm beginning to think its one and the same as well... we'll see. I'll have to do some research a little later.

Thanks again!
