Pretty cool video.
Amazing how all of that can be made there and shipped and still be in such great condition. Awesome work and workers. Thanks

No reason they should be made there. They hire cheap labor and they didn’t choose to work for WaterBox. I’m glad now that I didn’t win the grand prize, would probably sell it after seeing this video. No reason they can’t make a aquarium here in the USA unless they want to save money by using what would be illegal labor here in the states. WaterBox isn’t for me .

What aquariums are made in the USA?

 

[TnFishwater98]

That’s a good question, I’d have to look into that. I know Glass Cages is made in TN. They only do custom orders I believe.
Sad if that’s the case. Why else would you build them 1/2 way around the world unless you’re getting away with something you can’t do here. I here ya, just speaking my mind.

I understand. And I agree. But almost everything we use is made in China. And it’s because it’s cheap labor. It’s all about the Benjamin’s.

I see several after doing a quick web search of American Aquarium manufacturers...

I’m personally over it and have made a effort recently to change my ways. If there isnt enough American Aquarium manufacturers then that tells me their is a void that needs to be filled. With the high prices of today’s top aquariums tell me you couldn’t make a aquarium cheaper without shipping it across the Pacific....

If you want acrylic, some of the finest in the world are made here in the US. and Glass Cages... I think there are some others as well.

This being said, what brands are USA made?

Any plug and play companies? I’m not at the stage for custom made.

That’s probably how they keep the price down instead of making a bunch to sit in a warehouse or back of a LFS. Just get a quote...might be surprised

Mine was made here, and I got what i what I paid for.

I’m guessing/hoping that ended up good?

You’re on this forum using a device (or device with components) that was mostly if not entirely made in China or some other overseas “sweat shop”

 

[hart24601]

Is the glass made in the usa as well or is it just siliconed together here?

Cheaper products for us slave labor for them. I’m personally over it and have made a effort recently to change my ways.

That’s why I have recently made a effort. Not throwing anything away but future purchases I’ll do my research. I agree with you, we’ve both brought up the obvious. I’m not one to endorse or call for boycotts. Tell you the truth , I’ve never thought about aquariums /products made in our country. Not sure why I assumed these bigger manufacturers were made here. After watching the video those were my first thoughts. I’m going to make a effort to research good American companies that make their products in the United States or other respectable free run countries. I’m over sourcing out peoples lives to get a cheaper gadget. I’m not saying USA only (although preferred) just not countries that use their citizens for cheap labor. Also I’m not saying WaterBox is a bad company or talking bad about them. Just not for me.
