SeaPora Aquariums

Does anyone know if SeaPora is still around? Asking because an LFS gave me a quote for a 120 RR tank and stand. But, when I tried to go to SeaPora's website all the links on the website are dead.

That's pretty much all the Big Al's up here sells (it's actually their house brand made by Deep Blue). I think you guys still have Big AL's down there?

marvel at the glorious Canadian prices:

From what I’ve learned. Big Al’s US closed.

I think, Deep Blue went out of business as well. It sounds like Aquarium Masters took over and was/is making them under the Seapora brand.

Ya, the Seapora 40 breeder I have here has Aquarium Masters stamped on the plastic frame but I thought it was just their molds. I guess they made the tank too and that's 2019. This link shows Big Al's owns the Seapora trademark (at least up here, also Aquarium Services is Big Al's FYI) but even that is not up to date, so who knows?

Well, I’m hoping they are still in business and this local LFS’ pricing is accurate. The price is too good to be true. But, I’m a ways off from pulling the trigger.

There's a cichlid tank in the office at work that's a 75 gallon Seapora. Thinnest glass I've ever seen on a 4 foot tank with wide strips of black silicone to make it look bigger. You might want to pay attention to that.

Interesting. I’ve read both thin glass and not thin glass on their larger tanks???? If I go this route, I won’t be able to see it first, it’s special order.

SeaPora is still in business as I emailed asking about local dealers and they responded. The (primarily) freshwater and pond store near me is a dealer. They’re only 5 minutes from my house.

So, I’m going to get the boy and his friend to get the old (scratched) 120 out of the basement and try to sell it. Once the basement is finished, I’ll get a new tank and not worry about previous owner’s neglect/issues.

Someone beat me to it, but I recently bought a Seapora 4 foot low-bow tank, and it is my current build. I love the dimensions, and it's a good tank! They answered my email information regarding signing up for the warranty (the QR code with the tank went to a 404 error). I love the quality of the tank. The glass is fairly think!

Thanks, I was wondering about them as most reviews I’ve read have been positive but, the feedback on thickness of the glass has been inconsistent…granted, it was for various sized tanks:
