Anyone hear good or bad about these guys. The prices on tanks are extremely low.

Did a search on reefcentral: consensus seems to be they are overbuilt but sloppy. Prices look great though, they will be in New Orleans in June.

Might also want to check out: I see a lot of people ordering from them on RC.

What are Riches prices on Ocean View tanks? They're good quality tanks aren't they?

I'm real interested in this because Melissa and I want to replace our scratched tank for a shiny new one at some point in the future also, but not in a major rush.

I think the consensus on them is that their customer service sucks, and they never meet customer's deadlines.

Hey Kevin, give http://aquariumobsessed.com/ a ring. They might be able to give you a quick quote. The RC consensus is that they build aquarium like interamerican's quality but with great customer service and does meet customer's deadlines.

I think it is worth a shot.

Better than talking to Rich. Honestly, I have never talked to him before. I t is unfair to prejudge him without first hand experience. Sorry.

Ken (Nepthea) got his 300 gallon from them and is satisfied. I have no personal experience with them so I can't say.
Wanted: to set up a tank again.
