I am looking for a list of aquarium/terrarium makers... good ones, decent ones, trivial ones (eh... some of them). Anyone have a model of aquarium that you just LOVE? Have a particular allegiance to a company? Post it here.
I found one company in czechoslovakia called Ankvaria Ante. I like their designs, they do not seem too awful expensive. My favourite would be the "Terrarium for chameleon"
I like this company because you are buying simply the aquarium -no Light, hood, UGF system, air pump, plants and so on that is included with many others.
They have a diverse catalog with pictures & such.

I know of the brand "Oceanic Systems" (oceanicsystems.com) that is distributed at PetSmart. Their aquariums seemed decent enough
Anyone care to referr me to a company with similar products?
I have a couple aquariums. One of them is this seemingly indestructible glass dealy in which we used to keep fish way back in the day. This thing has been everywhere, two different houses... But anyway.
I went to the company Plastics to Go (local in MN.. but they are gone now) and had a 48" x 15" Plexiglassish aquarium constructed for me for a decent price. That is my main grow chamber right now.
What I really really (really) want to do is start growing Nepenthes in hexagonal (or sext/pent/deca/WHATEVER) aquariums. These are the tall aquariums, not the long ones. I'm sure many of you know what a hex aquarium looks like. They are very pleasant and would make good "furniture" in a room. -Unlike the way most grow chambers can be a tad much to look at sometimes (trust me, mine... for some reason... lives on top of my entertainment center in da basement. It certainly is great having four 48'' flourescents shining down on you while you're watching Lawrence of Arabia.
This does not have to be JUST hex stuff... But my main focus is on tall chambers for Nepenthes growing/display.
cheers
