Just a heads up - petco is doing one of their big Aqueon sales RN

It doesn’t seem to really come out to dollar per gallon anymore, but all tanks are like 50% off I believe. I picked up a 29g to setup as a planted tank for 30-something bucks!

the Aqueon frameless cubes actually looked pretty nice and would be a steal at that price (idk if you can drill them)

Be sure to take your polarized glasses and laptop i contacted aqeuon today as well as @NowGlazeIT and we were told the tanks have been tempered more lately then b4 they are using on sides and front and back glass and are telling people not to take the chance with drilling. Just a heads up everyone.

Hence the 50% off, knowing you will buy two after trying to drill through the first one. Let's call it 25% off.

So typically with tempered glass by law you have to stamp it showing that it is safety glass. This can be done on the seams or by a standard tempering logo. When asked if there was a way to tell and told them about said manufacturing requirements they told me there is no way of telling or knowing unless you do the temper glass trick with polarized sunglasses and a lcd screen. I work at a tempering glass facility and all safety glass must have an ansi certification(stamp). Which Aqueon used to have but it looks like in 2017 they werent stamping the glass due to product shortage and started using non stamped tempered glass to be able to keep up with demand. Just be careful anyone who does i guess...just wanting to try and help some people.

Yes, its a good time to get those quarantine 10 gallons, I use two per fish and switch them out every 3 days. On those Rimless cubes, I have a three gallon and thats about as large as I would go. For what ever reason, they use super thin glass on them. All well and good until your aquascape falls against it.

They run these sales 3-4 times a year. They always exclude the 60 breeder though. But you cannot beat the price.

Nope, The 50% off is usually twice a year and 40% twice a year also. But I find it harder to find them not on sale then regular price. Its pretty often. Some people have reported talking to aqueon reps and they will give them a heads up.
