Nice set up. Whats your impressions on the build quality of the tank? I am considering purchasing my next tank a (750 gal) and want to know what the build quality is like. How about the aluminum frame for trim, is it nice quality? Thanks in advance.

One thing I will say is that their website needs updating! A lot of the info is not correct. As an example my 300g 96 x 24 x 30 tank was listed as 1/2" glass. After a ton of research I knew I wanted at least a 5/8". Calling and speaking to them got me the response that the tank now had a spec to use 5/8". So first thing is to call direct and speak with Mike and only use the website as a basic guideline.

As to build quality, excellent looking with silicone joints on the upright areas very thick yet cleanly done. The bottom a bit sloppy (but thick) but its covered in gravel so I dont care what it looks like. As for the aluminum frame it was well done with the anodized being clean with no scrapes or scratches and very sturdy. Glass tops were the thicker glass.

Overall I am super happy with the build quality and construction. Just an FYI, I was in the middle of a huge move and remodel and would not be ready for this tank anytime soon. When I called the tank would be out 12 weeks. So if you order be prepared for a long wait because they pretty much build to order. I upgraded mine from stock with ultra clear glass on front and sides and went with a 3/4" bottom. They use black silicone standard.

Feel free to PM me if you want more details.

No problem. These guys are pretty quiet and do not have a lot of info good or bad. The tank looks great and they offer a lifetime warranty 'IF' you use their stand and foam pad. I went ahead and got the whole set up to avoid any issues. I figure they would not offer a warranty on something if they did not have faith in their product.

Been super busy with our remodel so it will be a bit before I can get it set up... but soon, lol

Thanks for the detailed reply with pics. I seen where they say you can upgrade any panel to a thicker glass pane. The 750 I am interested in is listed as half inch glass sides aswell. And at 120'x48'x30', no way am i comfortable with half inch sides. It does look like good quality, from the pics. Thanks again.
 
It looks like that size is in a 5/8" thick tempered glass on front, back and bottom with 3/4" on the sides... if Im looking at the same one.
 
I would probably be fine with 5/8' prefer 3/4" all around. I will probably special order it that way. Unless I am looking at an old version of their site, it says .63 front, back, bottom with .5 sides. The older site you could price all tanks with all available options, don't know why they changed it.
