yeah you are ****ing nuts this just explained it .....god i wish i had your money
I'm not nuts... I will not pay $1400 for a 60g tank, that is nuts. I'm curious to see what Elos comes back with. The funny thing is I would be willing to pay a little more for the Elos, still not $1400 that's crazy... oh did I say that already...
And as I have said before, I'm not rich, I am tax free, getting combat pay and almost completely without debt. And I like my hobbies...

elos is costy are you getting it custom made ...im curious to know the priceFolks before you bash you are welcome to come see my Glass Cages tank that I picked up from them 4 months or so ago. The customer service was fine, the tank and stand were perfect. They even showed me around their facility. I wanted a "cube like" tank and went with their 36 x 24 x 25 about 90+ gallons. 3 sided starphire. If you want an unbiased opinion from folks who have seen the tank you can ask Lee, Jin, Mark etc.

oh coming from our last months tank of the month how were the selicon did you have to trim any off
how were the selicon did you have to trim any offNone. It looked good from the get go. Tank (3 sided starphire), stand which is oak with lift out panel in the front and one on the side so that you can remove your sump if needed ($30 extra), and acrylic sump, was like $950 together. I ended up selling the sump and building one because my skimmer would not fit where I wanted. They can make the sump however you want though. Place is like 4.5 hours away but they were going to charge me $80 to deliver it to a spot about 50 miles from here. So I just took a vacation day and drove on up to get it.

nice thanks for the info
I will say this about GC. From everything I have read and seen, they are really hit or miss. On one end you have the guy who just loves his/her tank and thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. On the other end you have the guy/gal who's tank looked like a 3 year old put it together with 6X's to much silicone.
The owners are really hit or miss as well. I have called up there and talked to them and they seem as happy and nice as can be, and I have called up there and WOW it was like someone had urinated in their Corn Flakes.
Would I say that I would never buy from them, no. I am going to buy from them. I fully intend to get a 72"x24"x12" rimless grow-out tank from them and from that purchase I will be able to make a better personal opinion.
On a side note I did ask for a quote for my cube from them, via e-mail, and I'm still waiting to see what their quote is.

I can tell you that Darren's tank is great looking and I'm not talking about the corals, but those are nice too. His tank looks well made and I have had my nose pretty much pressed up against all sides of the tank.
I got a qoute from GC and on it they told me that they don't do external overflows if that helps at all.
