This was certainly not what I expected! An afternoon with Joe, the Co-Owner of Glasscages, in Tennessee, was nothing like I had expected it would be. Donkeys, chickens, cattle, an emu and 11 well stocked ponds, and we were just getting started!

Yes, they custom build fish tanks of all sizes, sumps, glass tanks, acrylic tanks, reptile enclosures, but there's so much more going on. Come along with me on a road trip to master tank builders Glasscages where on 80 acres of Dickson, Tennessee forest there's a lot more going on than just the building beautiful custom made aquariums.

Never forget these two things:
1) You Rock!
and
2) Always be learning!
