Am I reading correct? Glasscages.com charged you 990$ total for the tank itself with the overflow and all?

That's discouraging. I was going to get another 125g the same as the custom acrylic I already have that I bought off someone. They quoted me 2,000$ shipped (double what you payed) for a smaller tank than yours with overflow.

Anyhow, your tank looks very clean. I really like the drift wood.

You got price from the glasscages ? My price was the same what you find on their website. The shipping was not by UPS or Fedex... I'm waiting more than 2 months for delivery. They delivery tanks using their own truck. Every week they are going to different city.

Yes, that quote was from classcages. Dimensions 53Lx22Dx24H. I already have one like this and called them to inquire a second one and he quoted me 2k over the phone. It's discouraging to hear someone with a much larger tank got half the price I was quoted. Maybe it was another vendor but I'm pretty positive it was glasscages...

But can't wait to see this bad boy stocked. I'm surprised there are no bracing beams on the top.
