I found this tank on offer up and cannot find anything on an Imagitarium 40 gallon glass aquarium anywhere. Anyone know what the glass shelves are inside, at the top of the tank?
Petco is owned by Spectrum Brands. This is a conglomerate with a pet division. If I remember right, they also own Perfecto. They rebranded a lot of the products under the name Imaginatarium. I am not a fan of that brand and was never a fan of Perfecto tanks. About the only thing I buy from Petco are tanks when on sale (I loved the discontinued $1/gallon sales). Their price for lids is expensive, so I buy them elsewhere.
Most of my tanks are All-Glass now called Aqueon. I have a few tanks from Glasscages.com. They are OK tanks and their lids use their own system of hinges and back strip. I stopped buying from them when their ability to deliver fell apart. I had paid for tank and got a refund for failure to deliver. That was probably 8-10 years ago. I cannot comment on them today since I have not even visited their site in many years.
I bought 2 used 6 foot All-Glass tanks a number of years ago. I would not be surprised if they were originally sold decades ago as they have a non-removable raised plaque with the brand name on each of the tanks. I have never seen other tanks with these plaques.
I like the stand for that 40 though. Bear in mind that my opinion is just that. Plenty of folks will say Perfecto tanks are fine. They were also marineland branded for a while as well on the journey to being Imaginatarium. My bias is just my opinion.
That bracing is to minimize bowing on the long sides, and to support some type of lighting fixture, which is hidden by that upper trim assembly. How thick are the side panels?
Thanks! I feel like it was a good find. Pictures below should answer most questions. Came with a hood light/combo, but it’s in 3 pieces(rear, light bar, front). The rear bracing must be for some other type of light fixture since the one it has sits on the top edge with the hood. Also the trim and panels are all magnetic and are held very secure to the stand.
The info is in liters so must be from outside the states? Since 2014 Petco has owned Imagitarium. The above article is interesting. At least in the states.
