I am going to order a BIG tank. The best I can find so far is www.glasscages.com ........ Their 340 wide 96"x30"x25? Or something close to it, is about 3000.00 delevered to my door. Is that as good as it gets? That price includes Reef ready, bulkheads, glass tops, 100 gal custom sump, oak stand, canopy (that would be a mother to get off alone, in a hurry lol). If there is something better on the best coast, that also delivers, PLEASE let me know! I would love to save as much as possible. (so I can invest in the aesthetics to a greater degree) All input is welcome.....
 
That actually doesn't sound too bad to me, especially with all the equipment, stand/canopy, delivery and being new.

If you didn't like glass, the only alternative would be acrylic. Acrylic is lighter and can come in more unique shapes (which makes it a tad more in cost), but it also scratches and cracks easier. I prefer glass, because it doesn't scratch.

Those tanks are for ballers, I am just efficient with my finances. This budget is a work in progress and I'm close so I started building my tank. Has anyone on the west coast ever ordered from glass cages? Does it come to your house? The site isn't very clear, it makes it seem like I would have to go pick it up from another town? I wouldn't mind too much, just a u-haul to load it in. I would need like 4-5 people to help.
