Great Lakes Aquariums in MI

Anyone purchase a tank from them before?

I just got an awesome price quote for a 150 wide, which is the same foot print (72 X 24) as a 180 only not as tall.

Before I make a final decision though and make the 7 hour drive to Warren, MI I want to know if the tanks are quality or not.

Thanks!

Im originally from that area, and have never heard of the company. Where are they located?
Do they have a store with showrooms, or is it a factory?

Seven hour drive? Surely you can find a quality tank closer, which will probably save you money.

I think I have two of their tanks. They work well. The one is really old and still doesn't leak and has never been resealed or anything.

The name of the store is The Aquarium Warehouse/Great Lakes Aquariums.


"Seven hour drive? Surely you can find a quality tank closer, which will probably save you money."

Nope, even factoring in the cost of gas and other travel I'm saving about $300. The cheapest 180 I found in the UP was $680 ON SALE! Hubby has a friend that goes down that way for work, so we may even have him pick it up.

How much is this bad boy costing you? Shipping should only be around $150-200, consider time value of money & aggravation...Is it 7 hours round trip or one way?

Seven hours one way, so 14 hours round trip.
