Precision Custom Aquariums is no longer owned by Mike what his name anymore. I'll make this short because I hate it when people write books on here.
I called to find out why "Woody" was posting on Ebay under the Precision Name. I spoke with Woody(Who answered the first time I called) and discussed the aquariums he had and then asked about Mike. Woody was pissed. He bought the business from Mike in February not knowing the negative history with the business. I won't go into the mess he inherited, but he has repaired a number of Mike's tanks and not been paid for a bunch of tanks Mike ordered when he left.
I drove over to the shop today to verify what I was told. Woody was a good guy and seemed to be building some pretty good quality tanks. He had 2 240 gallon tanks, 2 180 gallon tanks, one 120 gallon, and two 300+ tanks that I took a look at.
The 240 gll tanks looked like good quality. I believe these were custom ordered and not picked up. Seems looked fine and I didn't see any scratches. 1/2 inch Acryic for the sides, 3/8 on top and Bottom. With internal overflows. Asking $750
180 gll tanks. Same deal. Ordered by Mike and not paid for. 1/2 Acrylic on the sides, 3/8 on top and bottom. One had some spilt cement on the bottom. Maybe a little rougher. $450 on ebay to start. With internal overflows. He was trying to get over $500.
120GLL - Looked pretty good. Same specs as the others. $400.
Overall impression was that Woody is good honest guy. The tanks weren't Tenecor perfect, think more "Glass Cages", but he wasn't charging premiums either. I did see some saw marks in a thicker tank that he was working to get out. He also had a couple of tanks in his shop that he was reparing from the previous owner.
Anyway, it is what it is. I won't be villafying Precision anymore because it's not fair to the guy that bought the business.
