I'm in the market for a new 36" tank. ADA is definitley a consideration, but loking at the Oceanic rimless line, and since I don't think it'll be for competition, I think it'll be a longer lasting tank. Does anyone have any infor on the Oceanic? Is the waranty the same as all their other tanks?

I was just at ADG on Thursday and finally got the see a bunch of ADA tanks and I was really impressed with them. The prices for the bare tanks are really not bad at all either and the workmanship is outstanding. Personally, I don't like the bottom frame on the Oceanic either. Another size ADA I saw that I really liked was the 90p high, the dimensions were really nice I thought.

What about the Mr. Aqua tanks or GLA rimless line? I believe there are a few members here that have one or the other... plus I believe we still get a discount from GLA as club members. Worth looking into if you haven't yet!

I was thinking about them as well. I want a 21 x 36 x 18, same as my current oceanic, but rimless. I also looked at EAST Coast custom, but theyre asking for $700.00 becuase it's made from 1/2 glass.

I have until July. I also spoke with ADA yesterday. Shipping would be about 150.00 for 1 tank, but a second would be about 10.00 bucks more. That might be a good choice, split the shipping cost. Jen, you looking for another tank?

I just saw one on Craigslist the other. Also a 46g Mr Aqua tank. So tempting to buy!

Well, TFW quoted the Oceanic Illunminata @ $319.00. I'll see what develops over the next couple months. the Customat $700.00 does have a better waranty, which goes a long way. Next step: MOVING SALE!

Don't quote me, but I think that Centreville Aquarium has the Illunminata for $329.99. And you get a 10% discount.

If you live closer to TFW, they may match Centreville's price. The owner, Jim, is there Saturdays and Sundays for sure.

Correct, they do match prices. I really like the dimensions on the tank (21H x 18L x 36W) which makes for great scaping, with plenty room for fish to swim above, like the angels do. I'll see over the next couple months.

I'm gonna replace my 50 with an Illuminata tank one day. I don't mind at all that it has a bottom brace.
