Deep Blue Tanks

[MikeyZO]

I havent been around in a long while... first post in probably over a year... I'm finally looking to get back into this god forsaken hobby

I was wondering if anyone knew anything or had any experience with Deep Blue Tanks. My LFS started carrying these, and said they are very good. And the price for a 75RR is cheaper that an AGA and comes with the plumbing kit. And the stands look nice too. Anyone?

I have the deep blue 60g Rimless cube with low iron glass and love it. Well built and you can't beat the price.

I have a deep blue 120g. I like and would recommend it.

Happy with my 75 rimless, only note is they scratch easily

I seen and helped a few people with these tanks.. Just watch the stand make sure it's not the compressed wood. They are cheaply made and if it gets wet it's a rap for it.

That is why I went with a MarineLand stand for mine. I actually DO NOT like the DB stands...

Will it fit on the AGA stands?

Yes it is a standard size 75

Look at my pics in my thread. Standard 75 gal stand

Will it fit on the AGA stands?

if their tanks and stands are made like the rest of their equipment im going to say that they are complete trash. the tanks and stands look nice and have a cheap price but theres a reason why all of their stuff is cheaper than everyone elses. and as far as the tank stand compatability be really carefull with that because i use to work in an lfs and we had issues with some key word some of the deep blue stands/tanks mixing with other tanks and stands respectively. yes tanks are a general standard size but they are sometimes off by just a little that makes it impossible to fit

Hey Man
Nice to see you back.

What specifically is cheap about their tanks? I don't doubt what you are saying I was just hoping for something more definitive.

i said that their equipment is trash, never really shot down the tanks because i did not deal with them as much as the equipment. from what i noticed it looked like the tanks had a higher iron content with a greener tint but that may just be me. some of their stands looked cool and all with the carbon fiber scheme but i dont know how they hold up when they get wet like someone stated earlier. i do know their pumps are made of cheap plastic and shorted easily, their lights do not have ballasts/ the ho units do not give off the light a ho unit should give off and the bulbs in the lights look like trash on tanks imo,they were one of the most frequent returns from them just not working anymore, also for 4 weeks in a row i ordered the same heater 4 different times for a customer and every time it came in shattered after the fourth time they just decided to splurge for a shatterproof heater

i have 55G that i purchased from ocean gallery last year. i got the tank for a good price too reef ready btw.

Well I have to agree that the stand may be off a little bit with the non DB Stand. I just set up my tank on the Marineland stand and had to cut the centerbrace a bit on the stand to get hte bulkheads on. But it was not a big deal at all!!

Got a 90 gal DB RR. I like how quite it is and for $260 can't beat price. Nice Tank...... Yes, stand I didn't like felt it was cheap. I built my own stand..
