There are a TON of mixed reviews on this tank builder...some swear by them...others would never buy from them(I think was mostly problems in the past though). Please keep us up to date on how everything goes :)

I think the tanks are very well built. Most of the issues were sloppy silicone and not so friendly customer service. That is only from what I have read though.

Agree with above. I have a frag tank built by them and I'm very happy with it. It's not perfect but I'm pleased. I would say that going with a smaller tank (under 75g) would be just fine with GC. Personally, if I were going to get a bigger tank, I would look to a higher end tank manufacturer.

If you go with GC, I would hold off on them doing the overflow. You can install that yourself or have a LFS do it for you. Their overflows are bulky and are not attractive at all.
