my petsmart carries oceanic AND all glass.... wonder why? They have the new
curved, and bows, and cubes by oceanic, and the black siliconed AGA tanks,
but it did just start several months ago....

Are the TopFin tanks sold at PetsMart made by All-Glass? I saw a curved
corner tank wearing the Top Fin label, though I know it was an AGA
design (originally, at least).

Top fin is a generic store brand made by Perfecto, *not* AllGlass.
PetMart doesn't carry All-Glass tanks...only Top Fin. The problem with
these
Top Fin tanks are that they use thinner glass than All-Glass does.
That gets real scary with larger tanks.
Personally, the only Top Fin aquarium I bought was for a hamster and NOT
any
fish. = /
PetsMart is starting to sell a couple of smaller, oddly shaped Oceanic
tanks.
These tanks are top of the line, however, they only carry a couple styles,
if
any at all.
*side note* All-Glass Co. bought out Oceanic yrs ago, so they're basically
the
same company now.
So Brian, my best, honest advice to you would be to by an All Glass tank
or an
Eclipse system (acrylic)...of you can fine one and afford it...go for the
Oceanic every time.
