Honestly, I'm not big on specific tank brands, I just go with whatever works best for my setup.

I'm with Emeraldsea on this, I don't bother with specific brands. As long as it's quality and gets the job done, I'm good.Emeraldsea wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 10:29 pm Honestly, I'm not big on specific tank brands, I just go with whatever works best for my setup.

Re: exploring the world's rarest aquarium fish
A functional tank is key for me. Safety is also non-negotiable. Beyond that, the brand name doesn't really factor into my enjoyment of the hobby.rockyfox wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 11:37 pmI'm with Emeraldsea on this, I don't bother with specific brands.

Invest in quality equipment, but don't break the bank on it. Spend your money where it really counts – on the plants and fish that bring your tank to life.Emeraldsea wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 10:29 pm Honestly, I'm not big on specific tank brands, I just go with whatever works best for my setup.

Re: exploring the world's rarest aquarium fish
I've got a few branded tanks, but honestly, most of mine aren't. Being the hands-on, DIY type, I like to create my own equipment whenever possible. I've even repurposed random items into tanks - if I think something can work, I'll give it a shot.rockyfox wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 11:37 pmI'm with Emeraldsea on this, I don't bother with specific brands.

Re: exploring the world's rarest aquarium fish
I'm with you on that, I've got brand tanks too, Aqueon's my go-to. I've always been interested in making my own equipment, but living with the folks makes that kinda tough. Plus, DIY can be pricey at times, so I'm all about finding deals - gotta stick to a budget, you know?Emeraldsea wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 10:29 pm Honestly, I'm not big on specific tank brands, I just go with whatever works best for my setup.

My rarest aquarium brand find is an old stainless/chrome frame tank that I had for over a decade - the kind held together with tar. Sadly, it got damaged during our last move, and I've been unable to track down a replacement frame since. Replacing the glass is relatively straightforward if you're comfortable working with tar.

Most of my tanks are now actually Aqueon, previously known as All-Glass. I also have a couple of tanks from glasscages.com that I picked up used.
The logos on these tanks are pretty neat - they're small plaques glued to the glass. I've got a 150-gallon tank and a 125-gallon tank from them.
150 gallon
125 gallon

Rareness can be relative, depending on where you are in the world - what's scarce in one place might be abundant elsewhere, especially considering this is an international community.
