Is this tank any good?

[James11]

I wanna know if anyone has every ordered from this company, they have what appears to be decent acrylic tanks that aren't to pricey. Help me out, cause I want to order a new display tank, Thanks.

what are you planning on doing with that tank? at only 13" tall your options are pretty limited IMO.

Looks to be crappy quality to me.

agreed. The tank looks ok but have never seen one in person so don't really know the true quality. I myself prefer to see the tank and inspect it before I buy.

I sent them an e-mail, turns out its glass cages, They told me I could take that tank remove the black trim and add a euro-brace and an external overflow the entire length of the tank for $210 (cost of tank included)

XSiVE, you are right, I didn't even think about the heighth, I may have to go with a 70 long, its 48x48x21, it has a little more room to work with.

heh.. the only thing I could think of at first was maybe a frag farm tank, but you said you wanted a new display so I was really confused. :hmm1:

good luck in your search :)

[James11]

edit: 70 long 48x18x21

But were yours acrylic or glass? In this case, the tank is acrylic which cost more than glass.

IMO, glass cages is very pricey for the product you get. They've been getting better, but a lot of people I've talked to have been unhappy with the quality of their tanks.

The only thing I'd use their acrylic tanks for are sumps. ;)

[James11]

What would be a good place to order an acrylic tank from, I have been looking around I like the 65 gallon, its 48X18X17.

[James11]

anybody?
