    Default pricing and vendor input on new 190gal. tank

    Finally decided what tank we are putting in the new house! dimensions are 60"long,24" wide, and 31"tall- approx. 190 gal. If I go with this company they will install a large center overflow w/ 4 holes in it also. This tank shipped to my door will run me about $825.00 and the vendor is glasscages.com. I am wondering if the pricing seems fine to the rest of you and if not do you have any other vendors you have dealt with that are better? Also has anyone used this vendor and can you give me any feedback on them?

    Never dealt with them myself, but I can say the price is comparable to the retail prices in our area for a reef ready 180g tank, and you have to haul it! But 31" tall, how thick is the glass? Plan on a fair amount of lighting to reach the bottom.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    I know that this is a pretty tall tank, but man what a lot of height to stack up some serious rock! lol Ought to be able to do some very serious aquascaping in that baby and still leave a lot of sand on show for the diggers that I want in the tank later! I don't know how thick the glass is on the tank.......hmmm maybe ought to ask them about that one? As far as lighting goes I'm hoping my other thread will shed some "light" on that subject! lol
