fishez4alivin Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Tank is 3 sides of low iron with a 1" PVC bottom, beveled and polished edges., the overflow is made of Acrylic, it was let to stand for curing for two weeks. 2 drains @ 1 1/2" 2 returns of 3/4" Savko bulkheads, and schedule 80 plumbing. The overflow box has acrylic that slides down over the teeth so if you need to drop the waterline level for a wavebox.

Codeman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Nice tank, this is going to be a winner. Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks, I cant wait, custom stand being built, picking my tank up at the trucking company at the end of the week. Have Marco rocks cooking in a huge sealed tote, so all algae from my seed rocks, have been eliminated. Straight bacteria going into the new tank, no algae on the rocks or hitchhikers. Link to comment
TriggerHappyDude Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sweet, another A.G.E owner to drool over! Nice tank, I will be expecting to see your updates. However, this is out of the Nano size isn't it? Link to comment
flipmodetank Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 does A.G.E have a website? i looked at glasscages.com but looking for other tank makers as well. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Oh ho, man! That's one fantastic piece of glass! And a 10X39 powermodule on top?! This is going to be killer! Link to comment
reefdan Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 does A.G.E have a website? i looked at glasscages.com but looking for other tank makers as well. acrylicandglassexhibits.com EDIT: glasscages doesn't get the best reviews online. oh and AGE isn't the cheapest but the quality appears to be... EXTRAORDINARY (in the kung fu voice) Link to comment
flipmodetank Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 yea seems everyone that has a GC says well for the money it was worth it but if i had more money id get AGE or Elos. Thanks for the website. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Wow. That thing is sweet looking empty. Can't wait to see that light over it! Link to comment

fishez4alivin Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks everyone! I just got my tracking information so it will be here at the end of the week...I hope the stand I have being built can live up to the expectations. I have been cooking the live rock for quite awhile, so when the stand is done, I will be making the transfer quickly. If anyone wants to get one of these, talk to Chris at the Fish Gallery, he is great to work with..... cbrenes@thefishgallery.com he got me my quote really fast. Link to comment

supreme_spork Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 yea seems everyone that has a GC says well for the money it was worth it... No, no and NO. Glass Cages has the worst vendor feedback I've ever seen, and has for years -- only a fool would do business with them.

fishez4alivin Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Here's my tote, I am using for cooking my Marco Rocks, I actually had a bunch of rock I was cooking, and added the new Marco stuff . The rock has been cooking for 3 months, but the Marco was added a month ago. Here's a pic of the Euro Reef skimmer pulling some crap out. It's actually not so bad, a lot better then I thought would get pulled out. The live rock I had cooking, had some bubble algae and was loaded with phosphates, from when I fed frozen without rinsing. So I cooked them in total darkness, in a sealed insulated tote I use for Ice. The no light conditions killed all algae, and created bacteria only rock. It took a lot of water changes to get it to that point. Amazing how much crap gets into the pores of the rock over time. Link to comment

I meet those guys from frag a rack this last friday at the MARS auction they where pretty coll they threw down quite a bit of money on some of steve tyrees corals How come you didnt go to the swap, i had a huge bag of chaeto, that i gave to someone else. Thanks fellas, i wish I had a barbottom tank, then i could move the rock and be done with it. trouble with the sandbed is the rock that is partially buried, and it being toxic when you pull them out. I'll have more progress tomorrow, i have to hook up my chiller tonight...89 today Link to comment
scottyreef Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I was in the dog house for going to the mars auction and staying out until 12 and she told me that i couldnt go . I will send you the masterflex tubing just pay for shipping i really dont care i have 50' feet of it Link to comment
