glasscages has good prices, but extremely poor customer service. If you custom order something from them no matter how many drawings you send them and how many times you call to make sure they are building it right they seem to always build it wrong. I have seen them do this a good number of times with tanks that I have installed. I would be hesitant to do any type of custom work with them if you truly need your tank built a certain way. They won't mess up the tank size or anything, but things like overflow location and size seem to always be wrong. Good luck

Keep looking around. You will run across something that is cheaper. As for a 150, be aware of its depth. Try reaching the bottom of a 31" tank before considering purchasing one. Yeah, they look nice but reaching the bottom to do anything is almost impossible without snorkel gear.

Do you know if the seams are done right or are there air bubbles in the silicone?

I agree on the depth, 24" is best IMO.

Okay well i dont need it actually custom as in a certain specific dimentions i just wanted something that had the overflow attached and since they do sumps as well get it all at one time. they do have the shorter ones instead of 31". I plan to keep looking im keeping my eyes open for deals and as of right now am thiunking of doing this in sept. that will be over a year of my current tank running as well. Id rather buy the tank local so if something is wrong i can take it in but nothing around here has what i wanted and deff no sumps id have to get a tank and the stuff to turn it into a sump lol any suggestions on a good online place to custom order or well that has decent prices on tanks and/or sumps? The LFS i get all my stuff from told me when i was ready he would go threw and show/explain everything to set up the tank equipment and sump so i can do it right.
