Oceanic Aquariums

The two basic aquarium companies on the market today are All-Glass and Oceanic Aquariums. Both have been in business for a long time and both offer great service and replacement options should your tank go bad. They specialize in bow front tanks, but other options are available should a customer want to have their tank replaced by something other than bow front. On All-Glass's web page you can find plenty of oceanic aquariums outlets, but your best bet is to simply go to your local pet sore which will carry lots of all-glass and oceanic aquariums. The Oceanic Aquariums and All-Glass sites will only refer you to a local dealer anyway since they don't directly sell their own tanks.

Oceanic aquariums have their pros and cons. The pros are that oceanic aquariums are very sturdy and the glass is quite thick. The trim colors are pleasing to the eye and stylish. As far as craftmanship goes, you'd be hard-pressed to find any flaws. The overflow is also well designed and aesthetically pleasing. Oceanic aquariums are known for producing a great small tank, but it is recommended to get a larger one, say 75 gallons or more, as this will always provide a more healthy environment for your fish.

Negative aspects of the all glass oceanic aquariums include just a few things.

Firstly, this tank is heavy and won't be easily maneuvered no matter what you do. After filled with water, you're going to looking at having the combined weight of about two big motorcycles parked on top of each other, so don't expect to move it after filling it. And even if you tried, you'd be risking warping the tank and no doubt shattering it. Also, be sure your floor can handle the weight. If possible, examine the understructure of your floor to see if it appears stable. And definitely don't skimp on your aquarium stand unless you enjoy indoor swimming pools with jagged shards of glass at the bottom.

Secondly, the overflow on their reef tanks is in the wrong place. Be sure to get a tank with the overflow in the corner or you'll have circulation problems. You can always add supplementary water flow within a closed loop with the output flowing into the left corner to counteract this, but it will be extra work. All in all, the oceanic aquariums are great tanks, save for the absence of the corner overflow. Good luck in your oceanic aquariums endeavor. This content block is currently not available.
