I purchased All Glass Aquarium and am pleased with the purchase.

stay away from odyseea they look nice, and come with most of the stuff, but its trouble. I know a couple people with problems including myself

I also have an All Glass Aquarium and am pleased with it. I think even more important than brand is that you get a tank that is drilled and plumbed.

I have a 90AGA All-glass that is drilled. It came as a stand/tank combo. Haven't heard anything but good things about them!

Oceanic is another poplar brand. By pre plumbed I mean the the bulkhead and all the tubes for the overflow and return are installed. This also means that all the holes are drilled in it. I think that all the manufacturers have stands to fit their tanks. My lfs (local fish store) even offers custom cabinets. They are very nice looking.

Another vote for All Glass. I have a 90AGA with stand and canopy pre-drilled. Have been very happy with it.

I have a Marineland Corner-Flow 90 that was pre-drilled and came with the bulkhead plumbing. It has been an outstanding tank so far. That is all I have used for several years. They are manufactured in Noblesville, IN by Perfect-O. They come with made-to-fit stands and canopies depending on what you want.

We have been very happy with our reef-ready oceanic tank and stand.

Oceanic is the cadilac of aquariums and all-glass is not far behind. Brand isn't always important when it comes to glass tanks. I would get one that has black silicone in the corners. It will not change colors or show algea like the clear.

Jdm01,

Do you happen to have a website for Perfect-o? I live in Noblesville.
