I am purchasing a 150 gallon tank from BA sometime this week.  My choices are Perfecto and All-Glass.  Any opinions on which is the better tank?

All-Glass.  I have nothing to back it up with other than the fact that my All Glass tanks just "felt" like they were made better than the Perfectos

And didn't All-Glass buy out Oceanic?

When I recently purchased my 90 I looked at it a little differently... I had the choice of clear or black silicone.  I chose black silicone.

I agree with BigDaddy, I chose All-Glass for my 220g and both my 120g tanks, because they feel better made, and 460 gallons of water on the same floor, they need to feel better made  ;D

I bought the All-Glass tank this night.   :)  Now I just have to wait for it to get delivered to the store.   >:(

Waiting is the killer, have fun with that, and don't forget to photograph the historical event for posterity. It sounds absolutely lovely.

does that mean the "stand" is built?!  I see cichlids in your future....   8)

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Please tell me the 150 you bought is a 150 long, I have a 150 tall and it's a pain to do anything with?
Like PFG says "I miss this place and all the people associated with it."
