Eshopps Aquarium is it real

[cww180]

I went to LFS in Houston and they had a display tank 75 gallon that they said was made by Eshopps. I have never heard of that and they said it was an experiment, has anyone heard of this tank before? 36”x24”x21” and included a white stand.

If my choices are “it’s true” or the LFS was “flat out lying,” I guess I’d have to go with “it’s true.” LOL.

Snap a photo or two if you go back any time soon.

Lol! It's an Eshopps overflow, not an Eshopps tank.

Apparently, Eshopps did have a 40 gallon cube at a Reefapalooza show last summer but I don't think they actually have a line of reef tanks. It's possible that Dennis ended up with something similar in his store.

He has one of these in the store also but its not for sale. I liked them because they use the clear silicone instead of black I feel its a cleaner look.

Lots of builders will do clear silicone, especially on acrylic tanks.

Yeah not many of the big names do it for some reason.

acrylic doesn’t use silicone to bond. They use weld which basically is melting/fusing the panels.

Thanks, I have never bought an acrylic tank... Did not know that!

The "off the rack" builders use black for reef tanks and clear for fresh water. The custom builders will use whatever you want.
