So are you implying that other manufacturers who make tanks without bubbles in the silicone are either a) not using silicone or b) not squeezing it out of the tube? I'm confused.

The few times I've built overflow boxes for my tanks with silicone and glass I haven't had any air bubbles. Of course I was very careful and took my time preparing the glass edges, cleaning the glass, applying a nice even bead of silicone, and very carefully placing each piece of glass. Would it be out of the question to suggest it probably has more to do with attention to detail and not inherent problems with the product?

I find it interesting that the new marketing requires the use of a different business name. Aesthetics and shower door scraps aside (my sumps from within the last 3 years) there is no doubt these tanks hold water well when you finally get them. I think it's a good thing there are products available to hobbyists with different budgets and expectations.

The marketing is done under MY company (Source Aquatics), if you phone and buy a tank from "Source Aquatics" I get a commission....thats the only reasoning behind it. it helps me keep track of the my sales.....thats all.

'contact MUNSTER TANKS they get all their tanks made by them' is absolutely false. This statement is definitely not accurate information.

I'm a little confused, does Munster tanks build any of its own tanks? If not what service do you provide to justify increasing the cost of the product you provide?

Everyone, I mean everyone, including all the sponsors on this forum and all others, provide a product that they increase the price to make a profit. That is what all businesses do. If anyone wants to know what I provide and do, besides tanks, visit my threads on BCA Aquaria:

I didnt have a problem with you untill I read your post. This is a forum. It is a site for people to ask questions, get answers, share ideas and opinions. You can not censor that. I have every right to say that prices are high if i feel they are, does that mean that im slandering your product? Not in the least. I would love to hear someone come in and prove to me that the product is worth every penny i would be spending and what a superior product it really is. (Read the whole post, people stand behind Elite and tell everyone how great and professional his tanks are and you really get a good product for the price) Instead I get someone telling me that they dont like what im saying and that I should not contact them anymore?
