Best app ever.

Agreed lol. Nice HC

Bought one of these from my LFS, on the way home the inner glass included shifted and completely cracked the end pane. It was secured fine just a normal shift from the 5 minute drive. Anyone else have this happen? DBP just told me tough luck so I am unsure if I should buy another. Shame I love this shape for shrimp.

As with any glass, I'd say don't let objects with points bang into a pane with any force.

I've heard of one being shattered in shipping, but DBP replaced it.

I'd say just remove the stuff from the inside while transporting.

I've got a few different Deep Blue Professional tanks but here are a couple:

These 3gal tanks are my all-time favorite, I think.

One of my many DBP 10gal tanks:

Yeah it's a bit of a pain to need to cut open the plastic straps and disassemble it in store to drive down the road. The inner contents were wrapped in bubble wrap but I didn't notice until inspection it was very ineffective as it was a single layer or so and did nothing to hide the corners. I'm unsure why they do not just place them inside some cardboard. I guess now I know, really put a damper on my excitement though. :icon_redf

 

[MABJ]

Yeah sorry to hear that :/

Curious though, what did you pay?

 

[kruzerman]

I guess I would be lucky number 7! I haven't updated my tank journal in a while but the link is in my sig. The tank is currently a hot mess with hair algae everywhere there isn't duckweed. I am hoping to get some time to rehab it in April.

Yeah, really sorry to hear about what happened with your tank water-kitties. Mine was shipped from AllPet, and the box looked like he11 after UPS got through with it. I've got a pic of it for my future build thread. But the tank is in perfect condition, and I didn't have any plastic straps on mine.

Welcome number seven!

Had one for a while, did they change dimensions? Mine was sold and package said 2.3g 5way betta 18x5x7. No ruler to measure though but it isn't the same height as width

I was curious about this too, as there were different reports from various people on the measurements. When mine arrived it states 18x6x7 on the tank sticker, and I measured it at 6" deep. As far as gallonage is concerned, it's debated. They are often referred to as 3 gallon longs, but not really 3 gallons. Anyone know exact gallonage?

3.2 gallons if it is 18x6x7

2.8 if it is 18x6x6

 

[A.D.D.i.c.t.]

Once we hit ten members, we really ought to decide on a sig line tag if we're going to have one. Opinions from anyone else?

 

[A.D.D.i.c.t.]

3.2 gallons if it is 18x6x7

2.8 if it is 18x6x6

Well then I guess it is a 3 gallon long! Yay! I like referring to it as such for whatever reason. Awesome.

 

[MABJ]

I really think we should have a tag line. But yeah for the longest time I thought it was 2.3 gallons. I never actually did the volume formula on it before a few months ago.

18x6x6/231=G

 

[Jdiesels]

I paid $13.50 for mine at the lfs and it had plastic straps which were easily removed via blade

 

[A.D.D.i.c.t.]

I wish an LFS near me carried these, I'd already have multiples.... Maybe it's best they don't

 

[BeastMaster]

Count me in.

This has been a requested club as of late.

Specifically made for people using the 18"inch long Deep Blue Professional nano, this is a membership where we can chat about tanks, link our journals and see some pictures.

Just because it was made just for the 2.8 gal 18x6x6 tank doesn't mean other people with DBP tanks can't join! I personally own two, but I love the product. It is a great and cheap product which is well constructed and reliable.

I'll start this off with a picture of my own:

And I'll end it with the list I'll keep as recent as possible.

Our first member introduced many of us to these tanks. Kudos to Somewhatshocked

I would love to join! Mine just came this week, so it looks like this at the moment:
