	Aquarium Manufacturer Links
Cory_Di Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 7953 Kudos: 2917 Votes: 25 Registered: 19-Dec-2002	I was trying to round up some common US Aquarium manufacturers. I managed to find All-Glass and Sea Clear. What other manufacturers reside in North America? Please provide links. I'm just investigating tank offerings as I dream away.

I have trouble working around in my 36 gallon which is 21 inches deep. The 100 gallon long is only 17 inches deep - sweet :88). 72 x 18 x 17 - that sounds like my planted dream tank. EDIT: And here's my stand http://www.glasscages.com/?sAction=ViewPicture&lPictID=109 Now I have to figure out how to move this spring. Last edited by Cory_Di at 01-Feb-2005 21:01

Jason_R_S Moderator Posts: 2811 Kudos: 2421 Votes: 391 Registered: 18-Apr-2001	Cory_di, that's what I love about the glasscages site. they have such a wide variety of tank sizes. I'd really like either the 65 wide or 95 wide (though with the dimensions 48 x 24 x 17 it turns out to be 85 gallons). these slightly shorter tanks would work great for cichlid breeder tanks. those extra 3-4" in height really just aren't necessary.

I don't know that I would trust it being shipped. I would hope they would be careful. I'm going to continue looking around. I saw a 70 gallon long yesterday by Great Lakes Aquariums (couldn't find a web page) and it too was fairly short. In fact, almost too short at 13 inches. I like the 17. I'd take anything between 17-19 inches high.

Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004	Here in Phoenix we have Tencor (tenecor.com). They are one of the largest manufactures of acrylic tanks in the U.S. I can recommend them as they custom built my 300 gallon. When I was tank shopping, I got to take a peak at their manufacturing floor. Very professional, not like the other local "fly-by-night" builders.

Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004	I forgot Ocean-Vu Manufacturing (oceanvu.net). Another large acrylic tank builder. If memory serves, they regularly have standard-size tanks on e-Bay. Or maybe it was Blufront Aquatics (blufront.com). Not that I'm partial to acrylic or anything

Cory_Di Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 7953 Kudos: 2917 Votes: 25 Registered: 19-Dec-2002	TIM!!!!!!!!!! - I was kind of wondering how well the shipping people handle it tho. I can picture the handling. Tank looks like its in one piece, then springs a leak from broken seals due to torsion from rough handling. But I really like that 100 long. It's got me written all over it. :88) Thanks for additional links, people. I'm still looking.
