Anyone had any experience on getting a tank from Aquarium Masters? How is the quality? I'm in search of starfire euro-braced tank that's 72 inches long. If you had bad experience just PM me. Thank you.

Yes, I sold hundreds of them. Low quality tanks. Plenty of horrid silicone jobs complete with silicone fingerprints on the viewing panes.

I cannot PM, so I won't go into details about failure rates we experienced ;)

I will add a disclaimer its been years since I sold any, but I highly doubt the company MO has changed for the line. They are competing with much larger brands and the one thing they had going for them, is the price point.

They are know in the industry as "aquarium disasters"
Pet club runs $1/gal often enough to get a 40 breeder to use as a sump.
As much as I hate to say it: aqueon is central pet: warranty with deep pockets

Glass... what's your price range? Cali is very short on glass builders. I can think of only 2.... A gentleman in the Sacto area, Keith Grant (Signature Aquariums) or Lee Mar down south. Keith makes some awesome custom glass tanks.

Lee Mar you need to order via a LFS, like Neptune's.
