Glasscages = Rude

Damn that looks clean

thanks. Aqueon did a fantastic job I must admit. but it wasn't cheap $480 Canadian + tax

but worth every penny.

when you are dealing with 150+ gallons of water, you don't want to be staring at it saying 'damn, you know it looks a little flimsy"

I agree...he is too rude...I just deal with it...there tank thats 72x24x31 tall is 695 no tax...

That price is very hard to beat. Yeah I think you are right. He is kind of rude/abrassive.

but what if you end up with a tank problem soon after you get it home?

then you may be wishing you spent the extra money on someone else.

that is what is scary.

going with a product with apparently bad customer service is a very risky game - no matter what the price..

good for you, dont put up with their crap

 

[12 Volt Man]

thanks. I paid $40 extra for it. but its worth it. I would never set up a show tank with clear again..

Miracles Aquariums in Canada (toronto area) has quite a market in the states for custom stuff. a lot of salt folks over on reefcentral have used them. but they are not cheap - but you get good quality stuff. you do pay for quality.

I have had miracles tanks last 19 years and counting.

I didn't go with them for my 150 because their 150 is 27" tall - 2.5" shorter than the Aqueon version of the same tank

all their tanks come with black silicone as standard.

I'm glad you aren't having issues. Buying a large tank is supposed to be a fun/exciting experience. It takes the fun out of it for me, having to deal with rudeness, so I will probably go with a LFS or Tenecor. Tenecor has been very professional and helpful. Getting a life time waranty would probably be a good thing for me buying a large tank, but damn Tenecor is expensive. The local 220 gallon aquarium will come with a lifetime waranty as well. I kind of wanted an 8' tank, but the 220 isn't bad. The 220 full setup with stand/hood/glass aquarium is $1100 from the LFS.

i did a price check on a 310 gallon glass cages and compared it to the same size tenecor and tenecor was about $500 cheaper

Were you comparing it to a glass or acrylic from glass cages? Around here I would have had to refinance my house in order to buy a Tenecor. Well, maybe not quite that bad but not far from it.
