Tank manufacturer quality?

Forester · 06-05-2007, 08:27 PM

Looking at buying a new tank here pretty soon, and I was wondering if there was really any difference between getting an All-Glass, or a Perfecto aquarium.

Is there any difference in reliability or quality?

The measurements are a bit different between the 2 manufacturers. Other than that, I've never had a problem with either.

Perfecto is known to be of lesser quality. Been that way for many years. Oceanic used to be considered best but sice the company sold it has yet to be seen where they stand.

All-Glass has always had top quality.

Does that mean that perfecto has a higher failure rate? Sloppier sealing job? Or poor quality control? Lower quality glass? Bad customer service? I guess I wouldn't mind spending a little more for piece of mind when getting a larger size tank.
