Recently installed two aquariums purchased from overseas, one is a 340 gallon x 7 ft and the other is 105 x 4 ft.

Why overseas?
I was ghosted by a prominent manufacturer when trying to make a claim for damage during shipping. Knowing that could happen I decided to try foreign products like Jebao and source most of my parts from abroad figuring I could buy 2 or more for the equivalent spend. Anything else I'd do a little DIY (frag racks, etc..).

Sourcing from overseas wasn't perfect, it took almost 6 months to deliver and we are still figuring out how I may get a partial refund for a broken ATO. That said, I can't complain about the value. This route isn't for the faint of heart or impatient, but ya'll aren't that :).

Feel free to ask questions.

Definitely following along. Where'd you get the tank from overseas?
I second this question. Also what are the dimensions of the 340? What type of overflow... can't really tell because of the reflection. Looks nice!

Overflow is internal, dimensions are 2200 x 750 x 650 mm / 86.6" x 29.5" x 25.6"
Alibaba Zhengzhou Funtechnik. Still lots of setup to do :)

amazing shop that.. the rep i spoke to (hannah liu) gave me the best experience in a long time (including those of local companies).. there really isnt a single reason not to do business with them..

i have 4x a8se on the way :)
 
Does anyone know how these tanks are holding up over the years?
No dont think so
Not a whole lot of info as most people get the “its a ripoff” and “we dont agree on buying these” smackdown from most users.

Yes its a copy of radion. But different led brand, sloghtly different layout, different controller board and internat components. Dont really have a problem with it.. mine will arrive monday

Yeah, I agree. The lights are definitely worth a shot! If I could find the right size tank I'd be very tempted for that as well.
 
If I’m not mistaken the 105g came from the same manufacturer as the branded version.
Correct, I believe all of the tanks are from the same factory. I haven’t found any issues or differences in quality.
