Huge Glass Tank!

[kvv711]

I was on the glass cages website and see that they offer a 130 inch long monster tank? At a cost of only $1200.00 bucks it looks like a good deal. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with such a big tank? Most tanks I have read about are 96 inches. Dose anyone have any pictures of this huge tank?
Many Thanks

wow thats almost 10 feet long. Good luck finding good lighting for it. Do you have any other specs on it. Height, width, gallons? How thick is the glass, and how much does it weight?

Those 130 inch tanks are nice but it depends on what your buying it for. The problem is that it's still only 2 feet wide and 2 feet tall. Nice if you want to do a long reef with lots of coral, inverts, but the fish cant be too large. Tangs, angels, sharks, etc. etc. won't work because when you add your rock and overflows they have no way to turn around. Just depends on what you want it for, I got a quote from them on a similar tank, 130 long 36 wide and 36 tall which would be a round $3200. I need a huge tank to put my growing tangs in with my monster puffer. I did get my 240 from them and it's a great tank well built.

well i was looking at these guys too for a tank...but when i looked up and asked about reviews it seemed a lot of people did not like them and thought their seal jobs were very sloppy..thats when i decided to build my own, if its something crappy being built, its gonna be built by me,lol.

I was told to avoid Glass Cages when I was researching my 8 foot tank. Several people claimed they are terrible to do business with....Good prices, poor product, poor customer service and reliability.

I've also heard that glasscages tanks are subject to breaking. I'd be more hesitant about a 10 ft piece of glass. Personally, I thought that you could not have glass in excess of 8' that would be structurally sound.
