Calling Tideline AIO tank owners

[KK's Reef]

Hello reefers,

Who has a Tideline AIO tank and what has been your experience with it? Are these tanks any good? They are a sister company to Planet Aquariums. I"m interested in the 31G Lagoon.

yes and no,
well
95% yes
it doesn't come with bottom slits like most other aio's, it has top tank slits(I mean the slits for the back filter)
so thats really annoying for fish poop and stuff.
but besides that, its very very very good for the price, the glass doesn't scratch, blah

Do you mean like a bottom weir, like the Lifegard tanks?

Yeah those
Most aio’s have bottom weirs

Yeah those
Most aio’s have bottom weirs

I actually don't mind not having those. It's annoying to clean when coraline starts growing on it.

How's the build quality of the Tidelines? Clean lines, clear glass, good silicone work? Comparable to IM or Waterbox?

I have 2. Build quality has been excellent.

I had a 65 gallon Tideline for two years. Loved the quality. Only recently broke it down to upgrade. You can look at my build thread and see what I did with my Tideline.

Got a link to your build thread? Can't find it.

If you click the my tank thread button under my name in the post I made it will take you to it.

Does anyone know how to order from Planet or Tideline?

Their site isn't exactly up to date and their list of stores in my area are either out of business or just service companies. There's a contact form, but not an order form.

They're making it really hard for me to give them my money.

I had to order through a planet retailer. My LFS happened to be one.
