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

I'm sure they are I just don't like the bulky looks of the frames and like wasantia1 says I don't like the Perfecto lids at all.

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.

I completely understand.....I get my lids cut over at 'Gordon's Ace Hardware'...for a 20H, it costs me about $10, or less...caulk a cabinet knob on it and I'm good to go.... ;D

Nice, those would work as well...but I'm leery of them coming off after getting wet too many times..

Obviously these sales have proven profitable for the stores.  If the switch affects the bottom line, they will no doubt switch back to the Aqueon tanks, if not.....

I don't know for sure but since Tetra and Perfecto are owned by the same company I thought maybe the new Tetra tanks were simply re branded Perfectos.  I didn't think the Perfectos were that much lesser quality than the Aqueon however.  Its also possible they went with a cheaper manufacturer but I'm not sure why they would do that if they already had an in house manufacturer.
