If anyone goes could they verify if these are Aqueon tanks or the new Tetra branded ones and if the Aqueon fixtures will fit?  I'm just curious.  The new Tetra tanks looked to me like the frames were much heavier and bulkier (I didn't like them, took too much away from the viewing area or at least it looked like it did) so I wonder if the Aqueon tops and hoods fit.

Just something to think about if you are buying just the tank thinking your existing tops will fit.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People trying to pretend they're superior. Makes it so much harder for those of us who really are.

The last two 20H's that I picked up were the Aqueon tanks....but it may vary from store to store by the area that you're in...???

I'm heading out in about 20 minutes to go down to our PetCo and check this out. Fingers crossed that 40G means 40G Breeder....

And they did have plenty of 40Bs... looks like they're aware of the online chatter about the sale. I ended up passing on them though, I was NOT impressed by the quality of the product or by the bulky black framing. If I were just buying these for a fish room, etc it would be do-able but these need to look good in my living room.

I suppose I should not be surprised, when you get something for cheap, usually it is cheap!

The Lake Geneva Petco still had both the last time I was in there about a month ago but they were switching over from all glass to Tetra.

Since Tetra and Perfecto are both UPG products I'm guessing the Tetra tanks are the same as the Perfecto which means the Aqueon lids might not fit.   Make sure you double check.

While they may be cheap dollar wise, and have a wider frame....they are really durable tanks..

The lids are different and I am not a big fan of the Perfecto (Tetra) lids.

Mine were all Aqueon tanks.  Nice quality at a great price.  Next time I'll have to take the trailer as only 4 will fit in my 22 year old SUV.  I simply love the dimensions of 40 breeder tanks.  They are easy enough for me to move by myself too!
