Yeah, they're better as far a looks go, but there not 3 times better, which is
about what an Oceanic costs compared to All-Glass (I may agree with you about
Perfecto). When I decided I wanted a 75 gallon tank, I had to choose between
$116 for an All-Glass or $300+ for Oceanic. Guess which one I picked.
The thing is, the All-Glass is sealed at the top like Oceanic. All-Glass tanks
are not cheap in terms of materials or workmanship, they just don't go
overboard. I don't think that mine will ever break or leak. I have an Oceanic
20+ high and it's nice, but when I got my 75, I wanted to save my money for the
VHO hood and Eheim 2217 that I wanted. It's all about priorities and having my
limits.
They're both boxes made of glass glued together. Oceanic just looks a little
prettier and has slightly thicker glass. Not worth 3 times the money,
especially in the larger sizes.
