    Yes. Sometimes they are a little sloppy with the silicone in the corners but that is easily corrected with a razor blade before the tank is filled.

    Ther's a place in Bloomingdale, IL acrylic though. Not sure on the name. I would guess that most industrial acrylic fab shop would make whatever to plans.

    Casco just got bought. I love Casco acrylic custom tanks but the ink is still drying on this deal so I'm reluctant to recommend them until I know exactly what is happening.

    I ended a deal with whoever it is that handles customer service at glasscages. The person I was speaking with was just down right rude and didn't seem to care if he made a sale or not so I just told him to forget it and hung up. They do build nice looking tanks though and thier prices aren't unreasonable.

    Well I can tell you that if it came down to it now I'd try to keep fish in my bathtub before I EVER gave them any of my money!;)

    Rubbermaid is a better option for a tank than GC IMO. ;D
