Just a quick comment here about tanks and especially tanks on sale. Yes, I
have read and seen tanks for sale all over up here in Northeast Pa, but
being from the "old school" I always tell people its the same old thing,
you get what you pay for!
Granted, these "sale tanks" are cheap and as Ray just mentioned, you wonder
how they could net the seller any kind of profit. The answer is simple,
take a close look at the sides or ends of the glass on these tanks; a bit
thin ain't it?
Of course it's near impossible to find the quality tanks we used 20 years
ago, especially now with many company's now using "tempered glass" on the
bottoms. In those days 55 gallon tanks came standard with a glass
thickness of about 1/4 inch and believe me, when you picked up one of these
you knew it.
But here is a good case of the "buying a brand name tank" way of thinking.
If you read some of the Aquarium magazines available, you will notice many
of the big names that advertise in them, those are the type tanks you want
to buy. Usually they come with some sort of warranty however cheap they
are, unknown names come with unknown warranty's!
