got2envy Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks nosser! The tank is very nice! the silicone is nice, the finished edges are nice... even the hood I'm not using is nice edit - what do guys and gals think... Should I paint it? or leave it the way it is? If I do paint what color blue or black? Link to comment
burky_tc Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Any chance you can get a model number for this tank setup? Link to comment
fewskillz Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I like that tank A LOT! I may have to look around for one of those, I love rimless. Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 You know I tried hard to find this on line and could not find it for the life of me. I asked the dude at the LFS why and he says that the tank is fairly new to the market still...I think there is also a 20g version The outside of the box says Marina - Style 10 -no model # but here is the UPC-015561152556 The pic I took is the front of the box...the other side has some FW fishy pix HTH if not ask your LFS about them Link to comment
gena Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Wow...great find!!! Makes me want to join in with one of those. I would definitely paint the back. I've had black, and blue backgrounds...black is my favorite, by far! The corals really pop with it. Link to comment

Our owner said he ordered them months ago and forgot about em until they came the other day. I wanna pick one up but he doesn't know the pricing as of yet because they forgot to send the invoice. We got in 5g, 10g, and 20g versions. The flourescent version is a GLO T8 bulb. Link to comment

got2envy Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 For realz! If my LFS didn't have one outside of the box for me to check out I would never have looked twice..and you can't tell by the pic on the box that it is rimless...Hagen needs to re-do the boxes hahahaha Link to comment
nikeSB Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 do you think these new aquariums are drillable? god damn they look nice and what a steal! Link to comment

corallineadam Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 nice find!!! very cool Link to comment
gena Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 U can Dooo Eeeet gena!! join in, u still have till Sunday!Black u say? I did paint my 29g blue already...most rimless I see are not painted...ugggghhh I don't know I so would...but I really shouldn't be spending extra money right now. With the holidays coming and everything is due in December...property tax, house insurance, car insurance, health insurance, etc...it's an expensive month for us. Otherwise, I would so be doing this with that tank I painted my rimless 3g pico...and I think it looks great. Check it out for an idea Link to comment
opy01 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Paint it black! Mine at home has a blue back but I think the colors would pop so much more with a black background. Of course thats just my somewhat newbie oppinion lol. I cant wait to see what you do! Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 do you think these new aquariums are drillable? god damn they look nice and what a steal! So def paint it black huh? I imagine it can be since I have seen standard 10g drilled...the glass looks to be the same thickness as the standard 10g thanks guys!! Link to comment
Mudfish Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Uh oh... here we go! The rest of you should drop out. Link to comment
