new tank question?

[crystaljenny]

I'm looking forward to buy a 125g long glass tank, oceanic, perfecto and all glass, which brand has better quality. Thanks for your help.

Hi Jenny and :welcome:

IMO from best to worst build quality it goes Oceanic > All Glass (AGA) > Perfecto. IIRC Oceanic is actually a division of AGA.
Of course that's also the order of price from highest to lowest. :wink:

AGA is probably the most popular. They're a good balance of price/quality IME.

Can't go wrong with an Oceanic. Very well built tanks. I have the 30 cube and have been very happy with it. Buy the RR version if that's an option.

ditto on chris,

AGA makes Oceanic. so you are good to go there. Oceanic is the cabilac of tanks and AGA is the chevrolet (workhorse) of the industry... I would say lee-mar and perfecto would compare to honda and toyota... cheap and generally well built but have some problems from time to time.

I have allways had oceanic and AGA tanks. Never a fail, weak seal, or silicone peal. Very well built tanks....

Len had a tank built by glasscages.com he likes it,,, give him PM or start a thread..
