    Looking to have a tank biult(Glass) who does everyone recommend?

    I have heard some unfavorable feedback on Glass Cages.

    Looking to see who has a good reputation on these things...

    Thanks

    I know Great Lakes aquariums out of Michigan did all the tanks for Coral Haven, and they look great. Prices seem very reasonable for custom tanks, especially in the more common sizes.
    I always here great things about Miracles, but they are up in Canada so shipping can be a killer.

    I have a glasscages aquarium and have no issues at all. Rookie just purchased a massive one from them and I believe she was perfectly happy with it also.

    I highly recommend great lakes.

    I have a glass cages tank and would never buy from them again. no silicone in the seams, corners are not flush, to thick of glass, and the list goes on.

    mthomp, how much is shipping from Great Lakes Aquariums compared to glass cages?

    Shipping isn't cheap but their tanks cost less. When I was there I had them quote me the exact same tank and stand, which they build furniture quality and give you all the overflow plumbing and stuff, it came out the same.
