Best value rimless tank / stand?
Hello friends, what brand in your opinion makes the best rimless tank / stand combo?
I'm thinking about getting a set of the size 48" X 24" X 20, something like that, or a ADA 120P size.
Thank you!

I don't think Mr. Aqua makes a 48" tank. Is GLA still active in tank business?There's a few brands of rimless tank imo ADA , MR AQUAS LOW IRON are some of the best pretty sure there's more out there though

Biggest Mr Aquar I've seen is the 22 gallon 36" or 25 gallon cube
Mr. Aqua makes up to a 65 rimless, I have a 54 and a 32 I believe.
Best combo imo AQUAVAS Freshwater Aquariums

UNS (Ultum Nature Systems) has a 120u. These are low iron and are miter cut. These are the lowest priced that I've found. I bought a rimless 90L from www.buceplant.com for $195.50 with a coupon.

How is the quality? Could you please show us some pictures? The miter cut corners sound interesting!:surprise:UNS (Ultum Nature Systems) has a 120u. These are low iron and are miter cut.

That's a really nice looking tank.Craftsmanship is as good as and perhaps exceeds ADA. Last minute aquascape for a local competition. LOL, actually placed 2nd.
Mr Aqua used to produce a big tank back then. Now they only doing a smaller (nano tank).
If you are going with rimless tank, my suggest go with high quality tank not with the value otherwise you are going to see disaster some day (explode).

Even though I had a Mr. Aqua 12 long, I would be scared going with a big tank by them. I know they had a 90P, and I was interested in it, but I was scared of the quality. My 12 long verified that the quality was not close to ADA, one side panel was fairly off. I wasn't concerned about that tank, the glass was thicker than some other tanks in the same gallon range were, but a 90P would be concerning.Mr Aqua used to produce a big tank back then.

Truaqua used to sell tanks that size but I am not seeing them on their site right now. AQUAVAS (when it was Natural Aquario in Portugal) was said to be lower quality than ADA on the tank, but the stands were, and probably still really nice, as are the lily pipes. I don't know about the filters and lights. What I don't like about AQUAVAS is you can't pick and choose. I would love their stand and lily pipes but I am not interested in the light or light bar. It looks like now you can choose to buy without a filter on some tanks but you really have to be behind the brand to want it.
The Ultum Nature Systems look cool to me, I like the miter cut in the glass in pictures, have not seen one in person.
That said, if I was going over the 20-30 gallon range, I would go with ADA, just due to the fact I know people with larger tanks that have held up for a long time. Then again, someone I knew with an insane 120P also had larger Mr. Aqua tanks, and didn't care.
I don't even know if you can buy a real ADA stand, at least the non metal one, in the US. DIY will get you a better stand than most, assuming you know what you are doing, and if you don't, a wood worker may be able to do it cheaper than buying a high quality wood stand, but it won't be as cheap as a standard stand.
You guys are scaring me haha. My next tank was going to be an Aquamaxx rimless 24.1 cube. Should I reconsider? I heard that the build quality is slight better than Mr. Aqua.Even though I had a Mr. Aqua 12 long, I would be scared going with a big tank by them.

Well, I am not saying that I think any of these brands will fail, but Mr. Aqua would probably the only company I mentioned where I personally would have concerns, but again, I know others who invested a lot in ADA tanks, but used Mr. Aqua on big tanks, due to the variety of size and they didn't second guess them.You guys are scaring me haha.

Any other statement of quality I made is more simplistic. How perfect are the seams, is the glass finished well, do the panels fit 100% perfectly? Those things don't concern me for structure, it's just more of a "is it worth the money compared to the higher quality option" scenario.
I personally don't know anything about Aquamaxx myself.
What about Glasscages.com - Home ?
No one has said AquaMaxx tanks yet.
I have the 12G long version - low iron. I was looking around and kept seeing that Mr Aqua discontinued the 12 long, so this was the other one I found without having to take a loan out. I got it $100 on the dot shipped from MarineDepot.
