Ive recently been researching buying a new tank to upgrade from my glass 125 gallon. At first I considered a glass 180 gallon (6x2x2), but am leaning more towards an acrylic 240 (8x2x2) due to the added length and lighter weight. The planned stand will be 3 rows (left, right, and a center supporting row) of concrete cinder blocks with 4x4s laid across and plywood on top. My question is this: Truvu or seaclear for the tank? I can get either tank for roughly the same price, with only 2 dollars difference between the two. Any pros or cons to either manufacturers tank?
new steup ideas: truvu vs seaclear?
- Thread starter Stucks
- Start date
SeaClear made tanks for Sea World but their tanks are made in Mexico. Their distribution center is in SoCal. I have not heard anything bad about them except they are pricey. I personally prefer tanks made in US.
TruVu made some bad tanks 10yrs ago. The acrylic would yellow.

Brands are comparable.
The one comment I have is at least based on the website it looks like seaclear has 2 top holes and truvu has 4 smaller holes. I'd go with the two big ones personally

Anything about their quality in more recent years?
How do you think that would affect tank stability/structure?
I don't think it would be a big deal. I'd go with the bigger holes so you have more options as adding stuff, like a big piece of driftwood.

Those are the only two options? Or are you looking at other manufacturers?

for now, those are basically my two options. if you know a couple more, do tell lol. I considered a 7x2x2 tank, but cant find any with those dimensions, and having one custom built locally would cost me almost $1800-$1900! So might as well go with the 8x2x2 for less money lol.
I like Advance Aqua which make Clear for Life. I have own several of their tanks and would recommend.
