Hi everyone I’m new to this site so thanks for allowing me to join. I have an oak trimmed tank that I bought from Petsmart in the early 2000s. It’s 75 gallons, but I believe it’s more than that. Anyway it measures 48 x 18 x 23. I cannot for the life of me figure out who made it. It’s still up and running and absolutely no issues with it though I’m getting worried. Here are some pics. Can anyone help identify? I still have the original glass lids for it. The handles say “Island” on them. Thanks

It is a 75 with those dimensions.
It looks like a Marineland tank to me... but... I could be mistaken

Thank you, but wouldn’t it have a date of manufacture and that anchor symbol? Those two stickers I posted are the only two I can find.
 
Welceom to Reef2Reef !!! Yes, looks like a Marineland.

I see, one is the name of who either build or inspect that tank after production and the other one that the bottom glass is tempered so you can't drilled or drop anyhting heavy on it because will brake in pieces.
 
Here are a few pics of somebody selling a tank like mine. He doesn’t know who makes it either. Not convinced it’s Marineland as they put their stickers under the trim between glass and frame. Nothing like that on mine or this one, plus their stickers have an anchor on them. This driving me nuts.
