Metaframe/Pemco tank journals

[relliott]

Send in those tank pics that speak vintage and classic design. Still trying to upload pics from my IPhone.
Any suggestions or help how to do this on a mobile phone is aporeciated. Might need the app?

I've been fortunate, I think to have found some nice and complete 60's and early seventies stainless steel tanks here in the Bay Area. They have the incandescent bulb w/housing and a cover on the back with the knockouts. Even have some original literature that was applied to the glass on a NOS tank. Will upload some soon. I might be wrong but the glass in older tanks appears clearer somehow.

Post those pics!

I have one of these in the garage that I plan on someday refurbing. Made by Jewel?

I have a 20 gal in storage, I think I'll set it up and use it for one of my old breeding pairs lol

Post a picture when you dig it out. Don't know if I've seen a Jewel tank. Look forward to it.

If you have the original back cover and SS light fixture that is gold! I'm interested if it's in good shape.. clear glass, no damage.
Old tanks for an old fish couple (pair), perfect.

These are very cool... before my time
But I kinda like the look

Did they only come in small sizes ??

Nope.I had a new 50 gallon Metaframe tank and hood in the late 1960s as a child....I think their next and only bigger tank at the time was a 125.

I have 2 5 gallon tanks sitting out behind the fish house. I use to keep killies in them.
