Perfecto vs All-Glass 90 gallon reef ready tank

The LFS where I am purchasing this from has both. Is there any difference in build quality, duriblity, and longevity between these two brands?

Thanks

Andrew

I have also looked into this.. Only diff. I could find was in the overflows.. The AGA overflows you can adjust the height. While the Perfecto overflows come apart for cleaning... Glass thickness is the same. All else checks out. The perfectos were actually more $$ then the All-glass in this area.

So just have to decide for yourself. If you buy the perfecto you can buy the All-glass kits i imagine for the overflows to adj. the height.

Re:

Ok, thanks, I was not sure about the glass as he did not have an Perfecto in stock in a 90. The Perfecto comes with a stand pipe setup and I am being charged the same so I think I will go with the perfecto.

Thanks!!

Andrew

I've seen them side by side and the glass looked the exact same thickness to me and the LFS owners who had them. I do like the all-glass overflow kits with the adj. water height over the perfecto kits.

I personally will prolly get the perfecto tank with the all-glass kits.
