I have been looking around at larger tanks to replace my 150 6' long tank. I have been thinking about acrylic but not to thrilled about how easy they scratch and they are pricey when you get above 300 gallons. Im sure you have heard of a place called Glass Cages and I have been looking at a glass tank of theirs that is 130" x24 x25 that is 340 gallons. The price is right at 1200.00 plus 125.00 shipping to Chicago. Then there is starfire glass , for the front panel a extra 250 somthing dollars, worth it or not ? Has any body on here had any dealings with them, there is only a 90 day warrenty and only if you put the tank on 3/4 " styrofoam- never heard of that! Thats not much of a warrenty what do you think?

And I have never bought A tank with a warranty.....so... Lucky in my opinion on a glass tank that even comes with one.

I recently dealt with them. I bought some acrylic sheets and a 90 gal. I can't say anything about the quality/build of their aquariums, but I had a total nightmare in dealing with them service wise.
They literally screwed up every single aspect of the transaction they possibly could. The worst was the coordination of the delivery, I was suppose to meet them at a show at a hotel in the city. So I spent days before coordinating with a group of people to help me, a truck rental, and with glasscages. This entailed no less that 6 fone conversations the thursday and friday before this show. Well, they never mentioned that they were missing the smaller of the two sheets. So they brilliantly decided not to send anything, even though they had possesion of the 400lb piece that i was renting a truck for. So i'm there bright and early with a crew and a truck, they make me stand around for 30 min before they decided to even admit they never brought the pieces. The owner was there, Tom, and in his astounding logic, all he could keep repeating like a parrot was "Well, you never talked to me! ".
This was the worst thing and was icing on the cake after all the other screw ups, which were minor in comparison. They did at least "make up" for it by using their own truck to ship these pieces straight to my house. But then what they didn't tell me was that they told all the other customers in the area to meet the truck in front of my house and gave them my address and phone number. With out my approval of course. So there was a commotion in front of my house for most the day.
Whew, I feel better already. I wasn't planning on ranting about them, but your thread triggered it.
