What do people think about Perfecto Aquariums. . .

I have been assuming the tanks my LFS sells were All Glass, but just realized the one (75G) I have my eyes on is a Perfecto. . .
 
I bought a perfecto hood & light for my new tank. I was pleasantly suprised by the hood in my experience most hoods at the store suck. This one isn't gold plated but it's nice. I've honestly never seen a perfecto tank which is odd since they are based out of Indiana.
 
They made my 150. I had it now for almost 2 years with no problem. I really haven't seen to much of a difference. IMHO it's like a Mercury Sable and a Ford Taurus. Same thing with a different name. :D
 
Thanks for the thoughts

It is consistent with other manufacterers that the warrantees are only valid if you buy their stands? I was chagrined to see that on Perfecto's web site.

I think perfecto has a 20 year warranty on larger tanks, I also think there the largest aquarium tank company there is.
 
FYI:

According to their website's FAQ page:

On aquariums 65 gallons and larger, when purchased with a Perfecto/O’Dell aquarium stand, the warranty to the original purchaser against manufacturer’s defects is five years. On all other products, and on tanks 65 gallons and over purchased without a Perfecto/O’dell stand, the warranty period against manufacturer’s defects is 90 days from the original date of purchase. In the unlikely event that you should experience a manufacturer’s defect in one of our products within the warranty period, please return the product, along with your receipt, to the original place of purchase. The product will be exchanged for you.

My though is that the price of the stands are close to the price of the tanks. So if the tank breaks, I'll just buy another with the savings from not buying the stand. And probably a different brand.

All-glass tanks do not need to be on their own stands for them to honor the warranty...

That was my reasoning for going with an AGA tank. Im not spending my money on their crappy cardboard stand.
 
The MDF ones are crappy. The hardwood ones are nice... but the LFS I buy my tanks from didnt have the hardwood stands.
