Tenecor vs ATM

Elorian · 09/12/2006, 06:52 PM

I am getting ready to install several fairly large tanks for a client and am looking for peoples opinions on getting the tanks from Tenecor vs ATM (Acrylic Tank Manufacturing). Anybody have experience with either of these guys good or bad? Any opinion on which is a better choice?

Any info/experiences will be much appreciated!

I have a tenecor tank. The tank itself was very solid and the customer support was great, but the stand and canopy was pretty mediocre for how much you pay for it. (I got the solid oak)

tenecor is terriable

i have a tenecor tank and the seams are filled with bubbles... one seam has spots where its only glued half way throu
they use very soft acrylic and it scratches easy ( iv seen some acrylic tanks (seaclear is one of them) that are almost as unscratchable as glass)

the customer service is terriable if you have a problom. im still waiting for a local representive to come out and inspect my tank.. now they wont even return my calls and.. dang.. they dont deserve to build another tank

please note tenecora was great untill apparently 4 years ago or so when they changed ownership or somthing
so make sure people you ask have had it built recently.. cause the old tenecor and new tenecor are really different

Yeah I guess I had mine was built in 2001, so maybe things have changed.

I feel that Tenecor did an outstanding job on my 150. They built it to my specâ€™s, drilled all the necessary holes and shipped it flawlessly. I donâ€™t have any problems with the tank what so ever. And the customer service was great. I spoke to Dustin Sims. Maybe give him a call.

Thanks for all the replies- we have decided to go with Envision Acrylics. I have been very impressed by the customer service so far- I'll try to post an update/review after I get both tanks installed and set up.
