They block that for everyone, I think to prevent people form talking about competors with out them knowing. But the tanks seem like great quality and look awsome!

GREAT I WOULD LOVE SOME PICS. DID ANYONE GET THE LOW E GLASS I THINK THAT IS WHAT ITS CALLED THE STUFF THAT DOES NOT LOOK SO GREEN???????
ALSO ON YOUR OVERFLOWS DID YOU LEAVE THEM WHERE YOU CAN SEE THROUGHT THE GLASS OR DID YOU GET THE COVERS FOR THEM??? I THINK ITS COVERS???? I AM REFERING TO THE PICS ON THE WEBSITE ON THERE THE 240 GL TANK OVERFLOWS ARE A GREY COLOR.

I got the option of the low E glass on the front panel and both side panels... The warranty is a little slim in my opinion as well, but I've had an Oceanic give way, so warranty doesn't mean much when it comes to your livestock!!!!! None of the warranties will cover your livestock... Will post pics trying to clean up the construction mess in the fishroom as we speak!!!!

The Oceanic was a 150 and would never buy another, IMO they are overpriced... I went to That Fish Place and they had a custom order that was drilled wrong and the guy was going to give me a break on the tank, but after carefully examining the tank the side panels weren't even square with the front panel...They were off more than a 1/16th. IMO that is really sloppy work for a company like that!!!!! Back to the point the Oceanic was glass.....
As far as Glass Cages I would definitely buy from them again...Alot of people advised me that Tom can be rude, but when I dealt with him he was more than accomadating... I even called him several times after the original plans for the tank were faxed over to him... I even called him back during the last day of assembly and had him drill my eurobracing to plumb my OM easier!!!!! I took a mic with me to get accurate measurements on everything and trust me the holes are dead on....There was alittle silicone on the front panel but who cares a razor blade can clean that up easy....His tanks are built like a tank and they are heavy, so if your looking to save weight this isn't the way to go!!!!!!
Here's a pic of the tank... I'm not the greatest photographer and I'm in the middle of construction on my new fishroom to house the monster.....

I went with 96"L... I don't actually mind the hanging and taping of the drywall, but I do hate the sanding... I bought one of those sanding deals that you hookup to the shop vac and it pulls the dust through a bucket of water...It does help cut down on the dust quite a bit...
I'm going to say the tank weighed in about 500 pounds...I had 3 other guys help me get it up on the stand... the stand sits 46" up so it's a big lift to that point... I did have 2 extra guys on hand while we did this just in case.. They just stood there and drank their beer...His tanks are heavy...I had the euro bracing drilled as well to make plumbing the OM easier instead of having to loop it over the bracing. With a couple PVC fittings it drops right down into the holes in the eurobracing
