[Dan49]

Thinking about an upgrade in tank size from my 40 to a 75 deep blue rimless aquarium. Does any lfs in the western ny deal with this brand? Also does anyone own one? opinions?

thanks ,Dan

A Reef Creation does.

I have always wanted to swap my rimmed 120 to a rimless 120 but I heard the rimless are expensive.

FYI I had one leak all over a week old. Spend a couple more bucks and get a miracles tank. I ended up with a oceanic illuminata after the leak and couldn't be happier.
The deep blue did look good cosmetically though. The over flow was huge which annoyed me a bit. Just my .02$.

I also personally don't like any of Deep Blue's (aka Royal Pet Supplies) Products. I would also grab the Oceanic before it ceases to exist.

Saltwater Paradise, A Reef Creation and Markheim Pets can all order it. SWP will have one in stock occasionally as will ARC.

ARC had the 57 rimless in stock a couple weeks ago. Not sure if they still do.
I believe Dan is looking for a 75.

Deep Blue tanks aren't all that bad, though it's certainly not a Miracles tank. I've had both (no problems with either brand) but it's all about your budget.

A 75G Miracles tank will likely cost you at least 3x the Deep Blue. Don't let one persons bad experience make your decision for you, just some food for thought...

I like the look of the rimless tanks and the Deep Blue was the the first brand I came across. I will check out the others also ,are there any concerns using vortech"s?

 

[briangsxr1000]

I use them on mine with no issue...although I am not creating a 6 inch wave.

 

[Dan49]

What size oceanic did you end up with?

 

[briangsxr1000]

The only one they still make is the 57 Rimless Illuminata

I just got a deep blue 10x10x10 from arc for my desk. All is good so far.
