Good old Mitch

[sphelps]

Pisces had a decent sale on 55 gallons for $60 so I bought my second quarantine tank there. I knew it would be a bow valley or B&I or whatever Mitch is using these days but I figured it's a just a quarantine tank so whatever's cheap. Actually ended up being a 46 gallon but whatever, in the end the tank is fine. The problem relates to the lids which again bought at Pisces cause I was there, pretty much same price as the tank itself but whatever. Open them up today and too my amazement, just when you thought the guy couldn't get any cheaper, this what they look like assembled.



Now grated I haven't bought tops in a while but shouldn't the freaking hinge be full length? Stupid cheap bastard, I mean really.

Ugh, what a PITA that will be to keep clean from salt creep.

Are those scratches by the hinges?
Either way its a POS.

[sphelps]

not scratches, leftover from the tape they used to hold it all together. The glass is pretty rough though sporting a decent frost look, edges pretty much garbage and not even cut straight as when put on the tank it's a decent 1/2" out on one side. Overall complete garbage, going back along with a message to forward on to douchebag.

Big Al's has a decent selection of the Marineland tops, if I remember correctly.

All the glass lids in box comes like that so that people can easily cut to fit what's in the back. Prices are increasing while the quality is decreasing; that's how they are balancing supply and demand :P

He's talking about the hinges in the middle, not the back part....

Sorry to see that Steve. Bunch of junk for sure. I never ever venture up to that place. Hate it in a bad way.

Seems like a bit of a wishy washy review.... speak your mind.
