New Tank Advice

[LeeAberdeen]

Hello. I'm a new member, as of about five minutes ago, and wanted to get some help on which of two aquariums I should buy. I've narrowed down my selection to a Ferplast Dubai 120 (240 litres) or an Aquatlantis Ambiance 120 (255 litres). The thing is, there's a big difference in price, £400 versus £670, and while I don't mind paying more for better quality, I wondered if the Aquatlantis really is worth the difference? It's clearly very well made, but the Ferplast looks like a real bargain and reasonable quality too, even if it is Italian-made. Any feedback much appreciated.
 
Thanks, Lee.

Hello and  

to the forum!
 
They are nice tanks, kinda up to your budget. Aqualantis 120, did quick search online seems its 230 litres not 255 litres, and cheaper from Seapets as well, but don't know if delivery or anything.

I have not personally had either of these tanks and both looks good really, personal choice i think, i'd choose aqualantis if it was my money but thats just me.
 
Hopefully someone who has had experiences with either or both these will help out with that for you.
 
Hope you enjoy the forum.

Thanks for your reply. Looks like a few people have viewed the post, and no-one's reported any horror stories about the Italian-made one, so looks like that could be a good choice because of the lower cost. The only thing is, that line's now discontinued, so maybe spare parts could be an issue?
 
Thanks for the link too. I hadn't seen that one, but was instead looking at the bow-fronted one, which is indeed 255 litres: http/www.seapets.co.uk/products/aquarium-supplies/aquariums/aquatlantis-aquariums-wall-aquariums-nano-aquariums/aquatlantis-ambiance-horizon-aquariums/aquatlantis-ambiance-bow-120-aquarium-and-cabinet-black.html.
 
Cheers, Lee.
