I am looking at buying a 180 gallon tank. I was looking online and found Glasscages and I was wondering if anyone had ordered from them before and how their tanks are?
anyone bought a tank here?

People have ordered from there, I believe there was a thread on it..heard they're pretty good tanks
Good... bad... you hear a lot but remember these guys make hundreds of tanks a year. Keep your eyes in Craigslist or kijiji
I was recently considering a tank from them and created a similar post. I was told of some bad experiences, but most feedback was positive. They're prices are definitely great. But as millerkid said, they make a ton of tanks, and people are more likely to complain about a bad experience than praise a good one.
I ended up buying a used tank for a fraction of the price, so keep an eye on this forum and craigslist, maybe you'll get lucky!

I bought a 5x2x2, stand, and sump from them a little over a year ago. Everything is extremely solid. The silicone was just a tad sloppy in a couple spots, but no one would notice it unless I pointed it out or they were really looking for it. The tank is probably overbuilt, and it's heavy as hell relative to its size. Overall, I'm happy with it and would probably buy from them again if I was in the market for a new tank.
I did consider buying a 180 gallon tank from them they quoted me $900 for a book shelf stand and $810 dollars for a 180 gallon tank.
Strange. I had mine drilled, bought a sump, tank, stand, lids, and had it shipped to my door. Don't remember exact price, but it wasn't nearly as extreme as your quote.
I had a fish tank guy in China quite me $1600 plus $250 dollars shipping for a 300 gallon acrylic tank.
The man in China also quoted me $3,500 dollars for a L shaped 700 gallon tank and $10,000 dollars for a 2,400 gallon hexagon.

I have looked at their tanks a number of times and am likely going to order some glass from them. I know of one person that has had a 150 set up for 3 or 4 years with no problems. I have heard complaints about every glass tank manufacturer so I am not sure how much better one is than another.
