boodleboy Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So I asked the LFS employee if they had any Mr. Aqua low iron glass tanks (I was surprised that they had Mr. Aqua at all) and they said no. I looked at all of the tanks and this one caught my eye as to have better clarity than the rest and was still only marked at $49.99 for a 12" cube. I bought it because I thought I was getting a good deal and tht it was low iron glass. Also I always find good uses for extra tanks . So, the million dollar question! IS IT LOW IRON???? Thanks -Bryce Also the third pic was messed with a little on my iPad, so the color is a bit darker all around. I was just messin around. Unaltered pic like #3 Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Appears to be. I would leak test it asap. Sounds weird that they told you they didnt have onr and you ended up finding one. Plus it was $30 cheaper than online. Link to comment
boodleboy Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 I totally agree. My guess would be that either they didn't recognize it, they had it shipped to them as regular glass, or they plain forgot that they had it. It's a very reputable fish store in my experience as well. It DOES hold water, just filled it. Link to comment

Rollermonkey Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Gotta be honest here: It looks exactly like my regular 12" Mr. Aqua cube. To me, with a tank that small, the glass is thin enough that it isn't really a huge difference, and certainly not worth the ridiculous prices that are charged for low-iron glass. So, did you get a good deal? Sure. Oh, and they may call it a 7.5, but it's 6.1 gallons if filled to 1/2" from the top. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It's also possible they don't even know what low iron means. Good score though, if I were to buy another tank it's definitely going to be a Mr. Aqua. Link to comment
