    If they are capable of giving 5years guarantee, it says alot on their belief on their own quality. I think the local tank makers only give 3months! Maybe more for some.

    They have different grades tank. There is the normal ones, clarity is pretty good. Then there are also the optic white one, which is 10x clearer. The difference in clarity between the two grades become obvious when placed side by side. Some of our members have both types.

    I believe it is like glass blowing. They melt the glass into molten liquid and then pour it into a mold.

    CR is making ADA look alike tanks with 10 year warranty. I know of this lady who has close to 10 tanks at home. mainly 2 and 3 feet. In fact she just order one 3 feet from Hong Yang of CCK loop who in turn order the tank from CR. The quality is just like those ADA cube tanks but expensive for local tank.

    The Lily Pipes are made by glass blowers.
    Do a search on glass blowers in YouTube.
    I'm back!

    Those lily pipe all make manually by blowers in china, cheat labour with expert skill. I guess the shipping is the main causes to the high selling price.

    You all can try write to AquaMagic and I sure he can offer better price than you see in ebay.

    I don;t think their shop is in our LFS directory. Altum, if you have their contact, could you please help us add the information for the benefits of the other members?

    Thank you.

    They also have ads in NST on Saturday. I visited them a year ago when I was sourcing for a tank maker. I'm quite impressed with their workmanship. However, they are quite rigid in their pricing. May it is just me that is not good at bargaining .

    Branding and market placement is what cause them to be so expensive.
