Plant Points: | Re: Glass Cages - Experiences Ok, finally the picture is up. I didn't use the Farm's boards, he makes actual 2 inches by 4 inches boards and they were too heavy. Bought boards at big guy's for $18.90, it's the hardware that's real expensive.
The acrylic tank is incredible, I've never even seen one before. I can't believe how light it is. I forgot how they round the corners on the front side, just by chance set it up there that way then saw them. I could just picture myself going years with them on the back and never knowing. They look really awesome.
It has been an excellent shopping experience.  |

Plant Points: | Re: Glass Cages - Experiences I just recieved a tank from glass cages, i must say it is the largest piece of mangled trash ive ever purchased. Since it was a custom order no refunds no exchanges. Steer clear of this company and save yourself the frustration. They dont care if your not happy. thats why you have to pay first. |

Plant Points: | Re: Glass Cages - Experiences Hate to speak out of school here, but I have had the Glasscages tank for over a year now. It's a custom 105 with a cabinet and a 48G sump. The tank, cabinet, sump, and canopy came in in great shape and there hasn't been a single scratch. The customer service is ok, but if you consider that it's factory not a retail store, the expectations have to be in check. I'm very happy with the purchase. |

Plant Points: | Re: Glass Cages - Experiences Hello! I bought terrarium,a month ago on frog terrarium . In fact, the links of products lead to Amazon and purchased through this site. I received a terrarium two weeks ago! I do not know whether to do this first site or Amazon, but was supposed to arrive for a few days. |

Plant Points: | Re: Glass Cages - Experiences I got my 730 off of them and I was pretty happy with it, reasonably close to pick up no chips / roughness. Been setup for a good while now with no issues. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. |

iTrader Positive Rating: 100% Plant Points: | Re: Glass Cages - Experiences 240g acrylic tank, with custom stand, and canopy.... Top of tank (the Euro style bracing) "popped" on the back right corner and started pulling up. I dodged a disaster with water, etc., but the tank can't be usable like that as I'm sure it's a matter of time before the sides give out in that corner as well. This happened about 2 WEEKS after the warranty was up. I just contacted them to see what the response is, but either way, that tank lasted less than 4 months and I followed all of the rules they had in place. Horrible craftmanship. Big thumbs down. Now I have a 240g enclosure and I'm not sure what I can really use it for! |

Plant Points: | Re: Glass Cages - Experiences initial read, going "oh dear god", i'm happy to have avoided them
i'm reminded that this thread was started years ago
seeing more recent posts, hoping that they've improved, ... guess not
i decided awhile ago to build my own tank, hardest part is a single 12foot long piece of acrylic.
unless your all thumbs, ... if your concerned with price, build it yourself. would be what i pick up from this thread. |

Not only did the top pop off less than 4 months in (their stand, level, on foam like they say, etc), but the service appears to be still an issue. Oh well, gave me an excuse to fall in love with my 125g all over again while I try to figure out if I can repair this on my own. |
