colorfan Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I just cracked one of the 10g petco tanks while cleaning. Been thinking about replacing them with nice rimless anyway so I just ordered 2 of the Landen 45P 10.7 low iron rimless off amazon. Have not seen many reviews on these tanks yet but they have been positive. Will give a full review when I get them. h4n, Jadenlea and evilguppy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Very interested in these aquariums. Trying to find a way to contact them, I have a few questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I looked at hose they look pretty sweet and the price isnt too bad. I am interested to hear about them as well. I have one rimless and absolutely love it my only small issue is water loss without a top. My solution was a sheet of lexan from home depot cut to the exact size of the tank top with cutouts for any equipment, hoses or cords.

Ron Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 How much were they? CAD lights have a new line of Starfire rimless tanks out, they have a 5 pack on sale right now for $169.99. It includes 3, 5, 7, 11 and 15 gallon all with lids. http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39&products_id=299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorfan Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 they were $89 each with free shipping. Needed asap and I am addicted to Amazon. Checked cadlights and ada but after shipping they cost a little more and couldnt get me the tanks as quick as amazon. Shrimpie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorfan Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Got my tanks yesterday and they are sweet. No extra silicon anywhere. Have never seen an ADA tank so I cant compare quality but I dont see how you could make them any better. So excited I put them on the rack and got them going last night before I took any pics while they were empty. So nice went on ahead and ordered 2 more to replace the other 2 on the rack so I will take more pics when they get here at the end of the week. Here are two pics of them set up already.

Ron Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 They look great, I've never seen them available in Canada. They very well could be made at the same facility as ADA tanks, that was definitely a risk ADA took moving their manufacturing from Germany to China. I'll probably give CAD Lights a try because I can get them cheap but I'll stick to ADA for my display tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorfan Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 They are made in the same factory as ADA. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r45t4m4n Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 look great, rimless is great for display. for breeding you cannot beat the petco dollar per gallon sale. JamesHe, Soothing Shrimp and Allicat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbarbee54 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Rimless fan mr aquas are cheap, so I have gone with them. My next 48 might be a laden.

Talking to people over seas laden is not made in the same factory as ada, but it is in a real high quality Oem place You wouldn't think ADA would allow any other tanks be built at the factory but I am sure it doesn't stop people who've worked there from stealing their materials and techniques to bring them elsewhere.

colorfan Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I got that info from nano-reefs about where they are made so it might be inaccurate. Either way the tanks are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbarbee54 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 They look great and the agreement rumored to me is like you said Ron, they can do other glass work there but no fish tanks at the ada one. But does not take much for someone to steal a engineer or product design person from them and replicate the tanks. Laden tanks look really well built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanman19az Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Before y'all jump on Laden's bandwagon, you should check out Glosso Factory on eBay...their low iron tanks are cheaper and look good...plus he has stock of DoAqua and ADA tanks for cheap http://m.ebay.com/sch/glossofactory/m.html?_pgn=1&isRefine=true His Mini L (10.7 gal) is $61 shipped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Elo500 and EricM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
