Just bought an Ocean Free Curved Tank (30x17x17cm) for my Betta. (He no need to stay in the 1-liter candy bowl now :P ). Bought it at Ben's for $18. Had to look carefully since the first one I checked had scratches at the front lower left corner. Another smaller tank had its rear top corner chipped which is amazing for so-called quality glass.

But the pissy part was that initially I saw this tank at C328 but was turned off by their asking price of $35!!!. Now we know dealers must make some profit. So assuming Ben was making his at the standard profit, that means C328 is making 250++% of Ben's profits off this tank. Sheesh. :evil:

Heard lotsa complaints about OF tanks. My friend's one cracked and bursted when his fish knocks on the glass wall.

Now then someone tell me!! Chey :cry:

I just dropped the cover of this tank (just a glass panel) into the tank. The corner of the panel got chipped. Luckily the bottom of the tank didn't get damaged and the chip was minute (more like a flake off the surface).

But still.... Looks like I have to take much caution in maintaining this tank :|
