Well apparently I’ve been waiting 8 weeks for a tank that’s not even being built. :frown:

Not exactly positive on what’s going on, but I haven’t been able to get my quote number (which should be available to me) after multiple phone calls.

I understand people get busy, but this is ridiculous.

If you give somebody your word and say that you will complete an order- then complete the order. I even repeated the order and emphasized “Don’t Forget.”

This is very disappointing.

I know what you mean - to spend $4-6K on a tank they should jump on it so fast but I could not even get a quote. I will never go through an LFS to order a tank. Horrible experience...not one lfs but several.

No doubt. Crazy isn’t it.

I might order through Urban Aquatics next time. Haven’t tried him yet.

Got dibs on the tank + equipment in case it does not get wet...

:lol_hitting::kev::lmao::rofl::llama::tape2::tea::cheer2::funny::clap2::clap2::clap2::lol::jump:


Ha, you know me too well. Naw, I really wanna go with a long term tank this time. I don’t know, maybe 2-3 years. Lol

This apartment is really small and kinda driving me nuts already though. Had to move because at my old apartments it was getting bad. As in like people getting robbed at the front gate bad.

I’m kinda stuck right now though. My wife doesn’t drive and her job is next to our apartments so it’s perfect. The area is perfect too.

Maybe I’ll just move to a 2 bedroom later in this same complex on the bottom floor. If I put the tank in the second bedroom, it will never get busted. Maintenance has no reason to go into a spare bedroom.

That’s how you get busted in apartments, maintenance comes in to check different things and they see the tank. Then they run and snitch you off to the apartment manager.

Every luxury apartment I’ve lived in won’t allow it. Maybe if it was 5 gallons, but not anything large.

Wow that is crazy. The place we were staying while our house was being built didn’t care that we had two large tanks.

Years ago I did have one place that asked for a deposit and I asked why? I asked if they were afraid the fish would climb out and take a **************** on the floor [emoji12][emoji2957][emoji12]

I just can’t believe this:

Jared,

I do not see a sales order in our system for that tank. I had Bryan (sales rep) call Nick and ask him for the quote. At this point because of holidays it will take 4 weeks to build. You might want to call Nick and ask him to send us the quote.

Wow...

Like I said in the previous post they don’t want our money 🤬🤬🤬

Planet deals with higher volume tank orders LFS. ADG can get it quick.

I guess we can’t blame the lfs-there is one tank builder in Texas and so many orders

Honestly I’m really disappointed. I thought for 8 weeks that my tank was being made.

This really sucks and is any reefers worst nightmare.

This is why I was forced to call myself or email.

This is just crazy.

Well, I was 50 minutes away from calling a guy I know at ADG at 10:00am this morning. :phone:

Nick Sr has come through. After all, it wasn’t his fault anyway. :tsk:

I placed an order with one of the staff members (won’t mention a name). :tape: He was the one who took the order and said he was putting it in at that very moment. I said “don’t forget.” :mmph: Staff member...“I’m putting it in right now.” :lie:

I can’t be upset with Nick Sr, because he’s always done me right. He’s gonna sell me the tank “at cost” for all the mix up. I’m happy again just knowing the tank is now in process. :smile: I’ll start the long wait again. :frown:

If you order a tank...better get your quote number. :doh::sad::argue::frusty::noidea::motz2::sorry::sorry:

I couldn’t even get a quote for two weeks with two LFS I dealt with two years ago. Their price varies from 3k to 6k. End up buying a used tank from a member here. I would think everything gets better now.

I might actually beat you getting my tank up. That's how bad the situation is.

Well, I can definitely relate!

If you ever want a tank, don’t worry...I have some good connections besides this one. I just ordered with this guy because he’s always ordered my tanks and I haven’t had any issues in the past. My other guys can match the same price and can get the same tanks.

So just let me know if you ever want a custom tank again. To give you a price point...my Rimless 75/G is about $500-$600. I drill my own tanks so that saves money, but I do get the tanks with seam guards.

Thanks. I remember you came to my house helped me moving the tank. We were impressed you lifted it up 250 gal glass tank like a piece of cake.[emoji123]
