does anyone know about glasscages.com
does anyone know if i should deal with this company or not? The prices are really cheap, but I don't know if the tank is too, and I didn't know if I should stay away?

I have not heard any neg, But they only warranty the tanks for 90 Days. Call them and get some more info , they also sell on E-bay.

There are several threads on RC about them, some good, some bad. Main complaint is their sloppy use of silicon, from what I've read. I haven't had any dealing with them, but they are only a couple hours south of here, I've been thinking about getting one of their tanks.

I have heard from some of the fishy folk around here that the glass cages tanks are a very good product. The prices are extreemly good but it's the shipping that can get you, I don't know what shipping would cost to your location, but by the time you add in shipping clear out here to the west coast I went to the lfs and bought an All Glass 180 gallon for just barley more.

If they are going to a trade show near you, you can always pick it up there.

I've only heard good things about them.
If I don't find a good deal on a 120 or 180 in the next few weeks,
I'll prob. buy from them.
I do think there is a fee to deliver them to trade shows but
I'm sure it is MUCH less than shipping.

I purchased my 45g sump from them. It is built great!!! However, there work is a little sloppy as stated above. I have seem several of their larger tanks in person and they can get a little crazy with the sylicone or weldon glue!!!
For the prices though, they are well worth it!!!
