Well, FWIW, I got tired of the less than perfect workmanship of Perfecto
products long ago. Oceanic's tanks are made with more care, using slightly
heavier glass. Take a close look at the way the silicone is smppthed out in
the corners. Look at the edges of the glass to see the thicknesses. The
high-end shops carry Oceanic because they are trying to maintain a reputation
for quality products.
