Are Perfecto aquariums any good?

Let me know any experiences, feedback or what you have heard.

Thank you.

Ive had a number of Perfecto tanks over the years. IMO, they are just as good as AGA tanks are. Theyve been in business for years so they are not some fly-by-night company.

I like them better than aga due to they all have corner overflows that you can actually take apart to clean.

I have purchased Perfecto tanks for a number of years and they are if nothing else, "consistent" Seams and silicone are always tidy, plastic trims are always clean and well sealed. I will continue to purchase them.

They manufacture one of the most "average" stands around and they are just basically "cheapo" hunks of pine. I will never purchase another one... (for another $100 you can have a quality oak stand)

I agree with Randall James.

Perfecto Tanks are on par for a standard aquarium, and I have seen less issues with them vs others. Perfecto stands have never been even close to a quality product.

my only experience was a 30 long that started leaking in about 3 months. I have had very good luck with aga and oceanic

I have a 75g reef ready Perfecto with corner overflow that I have had for a couple of months. It was easy to get the bulkheads on with no leaks & I like the pine stand & canopy.
