So do I. I had rock curing/cycling in 55 gallon drums in the garage, but now that its starting to get hotter I had to move the drums inside the house... the girlfriend is not to happy about drums of rock sitting in the dining room.

That’s my plan start curing some rock while I wait. I’d do the same, specially that far in can’t lose all that life

Damn she’s a beaut! How you get an upgrade haha? Communication error work in your favor or what?
So clean. I’ve got a quote from glass cages but haven’t seen one in person. It’s about the same price though. Not sure on the wait and I’d have to pick it up from their terminal.

Yea, I’ve had them cycling since February so I really didn’t want to start over.

Ive heard a lot of good things about glass cages tanks, not much about their stands and canopies though.

That’s what I said when I saw the email. Happens maybe 2 hours after the post...lol

Someone was getting my ‘exact’ dims (minus the width difference) and backed out. Got an upgraded starboard bottom as well. The only knock is that I had a 20 inch overflow and the overflow on this 18 inches. Still super stoked.

Are you both going with their stands as well? I'll probably have them make a steel stand and skin it myself but not 100% sure.

That is gorgeous. That's gonna be a sweet build.

Thank you!! Going to take my time with this one and do it right.

I am having them do my stand and a canopy with a flip up top. I was also not sure how well my tile guy did the flooring so i have leveling feet in the frame of the stand.

Smite, buy a bigger tank already! CDA has great tanks, but expect a wait. The wait is worth it in my opinion. I love my 180. Built like a tank. CDA is great to work with as well.

Already? I like the way you think haha. This current 75 g hasnt even been set up a year but by the time the tanks ready and set up it'll probably be grown out.

I requested a new quote on some slight changes, pending price on those I'll be putting the deposit down once they get back to me.
Looking to do 50x38x25 if they say it can stay 1/2 glass. If it's too much of a hassle I'll stick with 48x36x24

I like the deeper tanks. Mine is 24” deep but that was due to space more than anything.

Are you talking with Zoya? I would not rely on the website pricing.

Yes I’m talking with Zoya by email. I originally wanted to go 48x36x28 but that put me into 3/4 glass and the price was just too high. She adjust the quote for 24” tall and 1/2 but after talking a bit with my wife I may as well use the whole corner area so now I’m just waiting to see the price difference adding 2” around the footprint.

It’s been a few days since I asked for a requote on the new dims, I’ll have to shoot her an email again on Monday
