as with all things, they have to start somewhere.
the beginning of my reef includes a freight truck and crates!
i placed the order with Acrylic & Glass Exhibits on June 26th, delivery was on September 12th, about 11 weeks later. They said that normally an order takes 6-8 weeks to fulfill, but the starphire glass was back ordered. once my glass came in the tank was ready in about 2 weeks. everybody at A.G.E. was great to work with, especially Chris B. I was able to easily contact him at any time to ask questions and get status updates. i was even able to make a change to my stand’s height just one week before it was scheduled to be built, with no problems. overall, a fantastic experience.
peaking into the crate, i can tell that this tank was worth every penny. honestly, this may be the only tank i’ll ever need to own. the build quality is top notch, including the silicone work and custom overflow with cover.
the tank is still sitting in my garage, waiting on me to find some more guys to help me haul it up 3 flights of stairs. that will be very tricky, since this thing is heavy. i figure 4-6 people should be able to handle it, but the real hard part will be turning the tank on its side and fitting all those people in the stairwell! time will tell…
