what do you folks think of hagen tanks? usable? better to save for a custom or AGA?

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.

Nope, I have a custom 90g. some of my smaller (33g or less) tanks are hagen.

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.
