Their ok,
In my opinion they are a little underbuilt for the sizes.
What I mean by this is they tend to go a little thinner on glass
sizes for some of their tanks.

I would have never purchased my 90 from hagen.
I do own many other small hagen tanks though.

The 90 gal hagen with the black silicon aquarium is actually 1/8 thicker than other aquarium manufacturers. Thats why I bought and currently use this aquarium. It also does not have a glass center brace like the sea star tanks. Also all exposed edges have been finished (beveled) this is also stock. Very nice tank unless you go custom.

I was mainly speaking of their smaller tanks. never looked closley at their larger ones only because of their smaller one's quality.

My two 90's and two 75's are Hagen, as well as most of my smaller tanks. I personally prefer Hagen tanks.

I've gotten rid of all my Hagen tanks, now I have a 77, 72, 45, 2 x 33, 2 x 20 and a 10 ALL by SeaStar, all very very sturdy tanks.... I had 65 Sea Stars not to long ago and I never saw a bit of water on the floor from leakage.
