Has anyone ever dealt with or heard about the quality of Great Lakes Aquariums? I'm looking at either getting a 36x36 tank from Marineland or the Great Lakes 36x30 tank. Just wanted to know how their quality was.

A 36x30x20 tank would run $250 base rate, then another $130 for a drilled overflow and return. Not bad for a 95g custom tank.

You should get 48x48x18! i do believe i have heard someone say they make nice tanks but i cant remember for sure.

Or even better 48x48x48!
Check out this site, these are some really good people! http://www.wilmasthecause.org/ They helped me out,i feel adding the site to my Sig is the least i can do.

GLA are awesome people, and great tanks. I searched high and low when I was looking for my 100 gal and happened to find them in the free press. I stopped in on my way home from my inlaws, and thats all it took the next weekend I picked up a 100 gal 48x18x26 and a 35 gal sump/fuge and the rest is history. they're a father and son team (brad and steve) and they didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need. banana boat also has a GLA tank.

There is no such thing as a bad picture!!!
