Aquarium Masters Tanks or Deep Blue

HorseoftheSea · 06/15/2017, 02:24 PM

I am thinking about ordering a 57g rimless tank Aquarium Masters tank but I've never heard of this brand before a few weeks ago. Anybody have any experience with that brand?

Even with freight they are cheaper than any other tank I can find locally.
Seems like Deep Blue Aquariums are the same thing, have pretty much identical product #s and names.

My guess is that it's identical, built by the same factory branded with a different name.

That's what I figured. I see in your signature you have the 57g deep blue rimless, is it the Edge model(low iron glass)? That's the one I'm about to order but, as I've never seen any tank of either brand in person, I was wondering if it's a decent quality tank?

Yeah, it's a very nice quality tank for the price IMO. It's a very sturdy 1/2" thick glass all around. The front pane is a decent quality low iron glass, you can see the tell tale blue tint in the cross section of the front pane of glass. I chose the non reef ready version so I could drill it for a low profile ghost overflow. The center overflow in the reef ready version takes up way too much space and is quite the eyesore.

Have had a few rimless DB tanks and been very happy with them.

I had the same thought about the overflow box. I'd rather a corner overflow but I just bought an XAqua InOut that I'm gonna install.
Thanks for the info guys I am ordering the 57g right now.

How did it work out for you? Did you buy the tank?
