IM cause it’s the only tank I currently own

 

[FernFish]

Aqueon , because they’re cheap

 

[WalkerLoves_TheOcean]

Innovative marine, because it's also the only one I own.

You do realize the majority of the list the tanks are made overseas.

Planet, Tenecor & Glass Cages are the only ones I can say are made here, the rest are china made and shipped over in a container

 

[Bobbyvelvet]

Custom Aquariums !!

Yes, I completely underestand that, perhaps US Manufacturer is poor wording, I would like to keep the list to tanks that are available in the US though...

I have tanks from Marineland, Aqueon, Red Sea, and IM. Of those I would take the IM, but if I were to buy a new tank I’d probably go with Glass Cages. It seems wrong to vote for a manufacturer that I've never had a tank from so I guess my vote will be IM.

Thanks for the transparency, and I completely agree with your sentiment. I too will be going with a new manufacturer on my next tank purchase than anything I've had previously, but out of the ones I've had, oddly enough, I preferred the simplicity and ease of the ReefOctopus OctoLux T90 so far, it is the quietest tank I've ever owned, I can't hear anything until the filter sock starts to overflow, which is great.

Custom Aquariums. Best stand quality and cabinetry.

Any particular custom aquarium outfit you guys prefer? We all know customs exist, but I felt like there were too many to list out, I included a couple, but if you have a particular company you like to work with, please share!

 

[Reefkeepers Archive]

Aqueon, only tanks I've ever used other than fluval, good construction and pretty cheap for an aquarium

I'm also in the custom category. My latest one is Advanced Aqua tanks or better known as Visio on the glass side.

All my old tanks that were by custom companies which are now defunct (LeeMar, Oceanic and Deep Blue). They are all still in service, except the LeeMar (it sprung a leak after 11 years of service).

Otherwise in the past 7 years I've been in the hobby the second time, this go around I've used/use, SC aquariums, Visio (again) and a waterbox aio.

If I was to buy another smaller aio tank, waterbox gets my vote.

Glass Cages. Hands down! I've owned one and been there. Truly works of art! A bonus is they are really good people too.

I've been very happy with my 300g Tsunami from Fishtanksdirect.com. Tank is gorgeous, stand is well built. Customer service is impeccable. 72" x 36" x 36" acrylic
