Need Advise on GC purchase please

SnowManSnow · 07/11/2013, 03:32 PM

hi guys.
before I start let me state that I've owned a GC tank before (24x24x24 cube), but it has been years.
it was built LIKE A TANK. A little sloppy on the silicon, but for the price I paid I really can't complain.

Fast forward 7 years... I'm ready for another upgrade. I'm looking at a rimless 34x48longx24high with starfire front and possibly black silicon.

Question is this, who has purchased from them in recent history. bottom line is you can't beat the price. I think the tank I want comes up under $900.

Have they cleaned up the operation at all? At one time there were more than a few negative reviews about CS and such... which I had ZERO problem with when I purchased the cube.

I guess I'm looking for any updates on the company..

thoughts? advice?

Thanks,
B.

Still get what you pay for. Zero customer service, but a wicked cheap tank.

Usually if you give very good instructions, and are lucky to not have any problems, you'll be happy.
