Where is the best place on the internet to order custom tanks from? Is glasscages.com reputable? I want to have them build a tank to specific demensions. It can be either glass or acrylic. I just want a reputable place to build it and ship it to me. Thanks.


Any questions? Just ask...

Customer service is awful and I have seen some tanks that are phenomenal and some that somewhat undesirable. I have heard that if you give them explicit directions that their tanks are second to none.

Sorry if this is a bit ambiguous but I have had a bad tank from them and awful experience with their customer service, so I am trying to remain unbiased.

Well, I contacted them about how much it would cost (including s/h) for a custom tank with the dimensions being 18" wide, 21" deep (from front to back), and 18" tall. They replyed within the half hour telling me that a "rimless glass aquarium costs $ 140.00" and then they said that it is "about 28 gallons". So while I was trying to go to sleep for 5 hours, I was thinking about that message. Would it be cheaper to just buy that tank from them and put a Fluval 4 internal filter (https://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~action~view~idProduct~HG10175~idCategory~FIFRITWP~category~Water_Pump_Driven-Internal__Undergravel-Filters-Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies~vendor~.html) inside of it, or would buying a 24 gallon Nanocube Delux be better?


P.S. What is starfire? What do they mean by rimless?

I recommend heading over to Vendor Experiences Forum instead of cluttering up Anemones & Clownfish:
