We picked up the caps for the tinted tanks today.
We still have some work to do to get them ready and I have a limited supply of the different colors to cut, fire and anneal. We are still hoping to have this limited supply of the tinted tanks available towards the end of next week (key word in this sentence was hoping) Limited was another keyword. We should have about 40 tinted tanks in this first run, which doesn't sound so bad, but when you break it down to 6 colors spread across 4 sizes then there will only be about 3 of each color available in the regular size, 2 of each available in the Tall boy and in the XL & Shorty 1 -2 of each color and 1 or 2 colors might not be available at all for the XL and Shorty .
But do not despair... at the moment I am already thinking towards the future and trying to come up with a game plan to keep these in stock, so please help me out and give me an idea of which colors you like!!! Personally I am not a fan of the black or the cobalt, they look REALLY nice, but I don't like the fact that it will be difficult to see my juice levels (I like to know what is going on inside my tank.) I don't care for the amber, just not my favorite color. I love the green, pink and purple. I also think the sandblasting will look better on the the latter three. But this is all my personal taste and you don't want me to make decisions based on my personal taste or else all that will be available is the green glass and all of them will have either one of the sea designs or the final frontier design on it.
Even if you are not planning on buying a tinted tank any time soon, chime in with what colors you would want!

I would like a red to match the detailing on my lava tube one day.
Do they make a silver? I bet the provari folks would jump on that.

moorea, I am soo excited about the design we are talking about .... the more I look at it, the more I love it!!!
I've just sent you an email. I'm going to watch a movie with the hubby, but I'll be back soon.
Oh forgot to mention, you can choose whether the black or white will be frosted.
Personally, I would want a black and a tinted. Since I already chose the green already. Although, if it was possible then grey and red would be nice too.
It is super top secret! LOL Not really .... I asked for this -

And I would like the white frosted ... the background and bigger circle. More area frosted!
(did I say that right? white frosted, black parts clear ...)
So you will see the square and inner "pupil" ....

moorea - enjoy the movie .... I replied and had a 2nd tank idea also, but no rush. It's all good. 
Nice, that would make a good looking tank for sure. Interested in seeing the finished product when it's done.
Me too wash ... I think it is gonna look killer. I want to hurry and get it, but have a 2nd idea also that morrea can do at the same time on a tall-boy.
This is what is will look like ... (but obviously just one row).

Trying to get a Tall boy tank too and waiting for the tinted ones to come out. It's getting really hard right now with the clear ones on the website. Keep on going back and looking at the tanks. Really tempting but, I have a tank and a jar that I requested already with something else that I'm planning. So, I gotta slow down a bit.
Nice piece of art though. Getting a better idea of what it would look like now compared to the first pic.

I actually like both the Amber and the Cobalt and think they would look great sandblasted. If you don't carry them would they still be available in a custom order in the future? Looking forward to receiving my first textured tank. Hope it comes soon. Thanks Again.

If we find it difficult to keep all 6 colors in stock (or all 3 sizes) we will of course offer colors or sizes that are available in stock on the website by special order! I think what will likely happen however is we will order the colors that seem to sell the least in much smaller quantities. So if the color you want is out of stock just send an email to us let us know you want it and when we make the next batch, we will make sure that color is available for you.
