No reason they should be made there. They hire cheap labor and they didn’t choose to work for WaterBox. I’m glad now that I didn’t win the grand prize, would probably sell it after seeing this video. No reason they can’t make a aquarium here in the USA unless they want to save money by using what would be illegal labor here in the states. WaterBox isn’t for me .
That’s a good question, I’d have to look into that. I know Glass Cages is made in TN. They only do custom orders I believe.
Sad if that’s the case. Why else would you build them 1/2 way around the world unless you’re getting away with something you can’t do here. I here ya, just speaking my mind.

I see several after doing a quick web search of American Aquarium manufacturers...
I’m personally over it and have made a effort recently to change my ways. If there isnt enough American Aquarium manufacturers then that tells me their is a void that needs to be filled. With the high prices of today’s top aquariums tell me you couldn’t make a aquarium cheaper without shipping it across the Pacific....

This being said, what brands are USA made?
Glass Cages and American Aquariums are 2
Planet Aquariums
That’s probably how they keep the price down instead of making a bunch to sit in a warehouse or back of a LFS. Just get a quote...might be surprised

You’re on this forum using a device (or device with components) that was mostly if not entirely made in China or some other overseas “sweat shop”

That’s why I have recently made a effort. Not throwing anything away but future purchases I’ll do my research. I agree with you, we’ve both brought up the obvious. I’m not one to endorse or call for boycotts. Tell you the truth , I’ve never thought about aquariums /products made in our country. Not sure why I assumed these bigger manufacturers were made here. After watching the video those were my first thoughts. I’m going to make a effort to research good American companies that make their products in the United States or other respectable free run countries. I’m over sourcing out peoples lives to get a cheaper gadget. I’m not saying USA only (although preferred) just not countries that use their citizens for cheap labor. Also I’m not saying WaterBox is a bad company or talking bad about them. Just not for me.
