Find out where they are located and post it. Maybe somebody who lives close can check them out. If they do decent work this vendor would be an asset to us all. Even if the seams are a little bubbly, it still might be worth the price.

seems free shipping is kind of bent around the truth.
*First $500 of Shipping is on us!
Modification or alteration of the aquarium by drilling, cutting, sawing, gluing anything to, bending, melting, tapping or other similar means voids the warranty
Repair or replacement value from year two to year four will be limited to 40% of the prevailing price. Repair or replacement value from year four and on will be limited to 20% of the prevailing price.
^ if i understand that correctly, they only pay for 40% of repairs
if you ask me, the website just looks fishy, and looks like a major scam.

The modification is standard. Most companies require a phone call and approval on modifications.
The "free shipping" of up to $500? and the lifetime warranty of 40% from 2 years to 4 years and 20% 4 years after is "limited lifetime warranty." This sounds shady.
Also, when acrylic aquariums first came onto the market, they used extruded acrylic. It looked good for years. Eventually, it crazed and yellowed. Makes me wonder if they are cutting corners by using cheap thin acrylic.
I have purchased acrylic tanks, but not from this place. They seem terribly pricey to me. They want hundreds for a tank I paid $120 for.

How long ago? Acrylic is a petroleum product that skyrocketed in the past years.
I would not take my chances. that website looks like one of those banner ads rather than a real company's website.
for that much money and that much water, I vote no.
go with a reputable builder. this is potentially hundreds of gallons of water we are talking about.
its not a gold fish bowl..

Haha umm no, no where in your first post did I see you suggest you could do it, but instead you questioned if it was even possible. Sure I'll agree with you that it's easier to move acrylic, but as to who wants to round up friends to move a tank? I would and so do they, if it's more money in our pocket for fishCamphilophus;2086582; said:

THEY COST TOO MUCH?!
For a 96x48x30 I've been quoted as high as 20k. Tenecor is based out of Tempe here in AZ and they quoted me 4500. This website has it for a little over 2k.
I agree with all of your responses.
Although I have no problem gathering a dozen of my buddies to move a tank. All I have to do is say..."beer?" and they're here haha.
