Hello friends,
Long time lurker here, wanted to share my experience with American Aquariums in PA. I have been keeping African cichlids for a few years now, started with an unsustainable mix & zero research. While this tank wasn't going to work long term it did introduce me to the tropheus duboisi which got me hooked. I have since kept a colony of red rainbows, and now have 35 Ubwari. Trophs as we all know have some pretty strict requirements when it comes to tank footprint. As fry I had them in a 60 gallon 36 in long, which was fine for then, but we needed to expand. The only issue was the space, I had was just shy of 48", so no standard tank would work. After months of searching I found the website for American Aquariums, found a prebuilt tank advertised..47X22X19...perfect for these fish. The price was amazing, and the sales guy Adam was quick to respond, and the shipping was the best I had been quoted anywhere. Now it was just a waiting game, I was fully aware on the site itself it says 10-12 weeks for a build is normal, but we are not in normal times. I ended up receiving the tank after about 14 weeks, which was the only downside, but one that I can't in good conscious complain about because of how busy the aquarium trade has become during covid. The Tank was trucked to my front door inside a very well built and secure crate, it was clear these guys where good at what they do. Once I got it out and set up it exceeded all of my expectations. I am in no way associated with them, I am just a happy customer and wanted to pass on my experience with people who might appreciate it. What's with the 1mb limit on photos cant even post one...anyways its pretty, gonna have to take my word for it...anyone else used this company?
