On larger, more professional tanks -- it is definitely preferred to situate yourself with an Oceanic. They manufacture their tanks with the thickest, sturdiest glass on the market. Plus, most are already drilled. But of course, with a name comes a price tag. I saw a 210g for $2100 at a LFS.. with the proper connections, my stepfather got a direct pricing of a 220g for $689 with stand.
DOesnt all glass own oceanic? so the tanks area really made by the same company?
I have oceanic, I know people who have gotten the new all glass with the mega flow and like but hate it, they say it is hard to clean but you get good flow..
I have also seen the price difference, and noticed oceanis have the mega flow also now, least from what I saw at my LFS.
I also prefer oceanie because the brace in the middle is glass, on a all glass it is plastic, on bigger tanks I see the braces falling because of the top/light whatever weight.
I am getting a new tank and sticking with oceanic though, better quality with what was said above, thicker glass ect..
Heh, we were going for this 700g with 1000lbs of LR and 500lbs of LS for $1200.. but some other guy in his local vacinity offered slightly more. Bah. Oh well.
All-Glass and Oceanic merged a few years ago. They still maintain their separate identities. It was done mostly to help each other (especially Oceanic) reach a broader customer base.
