glass cages

Hi everyone, I’ve been in and out of the hobby since 2019. Last September we had our daughter, which was followed by a move that ended up with me selling my previous tank. My daughter is 8 months old now and already loves to watch the fish at my in-law’s house, so of course I told my wife we had...

Hi all, I just ordered my tank from Glass Cages! I’m very excited, but very torn on a decision to add on a canopy. The dimensions of my tank will be 72”x24”x25” with an external overflow. I’ll be getting a 40” H modern white stand as well. Does anyone here have a canopy from glass cages that...

We’ve just bought our new home and I finally have the space for my first “big” tank. We’re on a concrete slab and I have room for up to an 84” tank! I’ve been doing some shopping, and ultimately I really like the Red Sea S-1000. I like it for its look, dimensions, and I like the sump layout as...

Hi all, Me and my family just got settled into our new home in the Nashville, TN area. I’ve been out of the hobby for a little while, but I finally have a designated wall in the house for a large tank I’ve always dreamed of! As we are unpacking and putting things away, the time for me to start...

We have been working to put our house on the market and my realtor says it has to go. So I'm selling my custom 300 Glass Cages aquarium. Originally Paid just over $10,000 for it, asking $4,300 . Buyer will need at least 6 people to move as the aquarium is constructed out of 3/4 inch Low Iron...

Well I did it, today I ordered a Joe's Glass Cages custom tank to replace the 72 bow front. The bow front's center brace is cracking way from the back of the tank, and since it is almost impossible to find a Tom's Aqua Pump for the CPR over flown a replacement is in order. It will be 8 to 12...

Should I reseal 300 g 8’ glass cages tank? It does not leak, although has flat nonsticky silicone on one corner and a chip in another corner. If so what type of silicone is ideal and can it just go over old silicone as long as it still touches glass? What about placing new pieces of glass on...

I have a CR44 sump, I really would like to add a automatic filter roller especially since the sales are still happening. So I have a second hand glass cages tank that is 72” x 25-1/2 x 22 tall. So I believe 160-180G. I would like to use a reef mat 500 or 1200 but I feel the 1200 might be way too...

I am looking for a specific dimension tank, preferably reef ready and rimless. The closest I have found are seapora 75g coming in at 48x18x20 and waterbox's Marine X 110.4 coming in at 47.2 x 19.7 x 21.7. My third option, would be a glasscages tank. I have heard good things about them, but the...

Well, it is finally starting to get a little real. My stand materials arrived yesterday from Framing Tech. I was a little miffed there were no assembly instructions, but once I organized all the parts, and spent a few minutes with the CAD drawings, it was pretty obvious. This is what 172 lbs of...

Hi All, I reentered the hobby last March after almost a 10 year hiatus (Formerly W1dude on NanoReef). My GF convinced me to set up an 80g in our living room. Well, fast-forward to a new house and 1.5 year later: We are 1 week out from delivery on a 72" x 36" x 25" tall glass build. The...

I'm currently shopping for glass suppliers for an aquarium build but struggling to find anyone other than glasscages. I'm looking for someone who can sell me 7'x3'x3/4" glass sheets within a half day's drive of Northern VA. Ideally I'm looking for tempered glass since the aquarium is going to be...

I have done a lot of research on the forums and on the internet and completely understand that Glass Cages are hard to deal with and don't have the best customer support. That being said has anyone had an issue with the product? I cannot afford the other aquarium builders prices and have had 2...
