I have a friend who has a tenecor 50g corner tank....it is very nice and well made. His has an overflow and he uses a w/d....I think that is a better set-up then internal...jmo

I have 2 125 Tenecor tanks that are drilled for overflows. If your going to have space under the tank to hide a filter I would do it that way. A built in filter takes up room that could be used for more fish. It also tends to confine you to not Work outside the box. I often thought it might be harder to resell with a built in filter but I could be off on that. Tenecors are very well made. Rich

Just last week I had a Tenecor 180 gallon tank with oak stand and hood delivered to my new home. (Red mahogany finish) I haven't set it up yet as we need to paint the room first - I have NO interest in moving that puppy after I have it set up and running!!!

It looks incredible, very solid construction on both the tank and stand.

I had it shipped from Arizona and the customer service was excellent as well. In the process of squeezing the tank into the house I gouged the finish on the stand and even though they didn't have to do it, Tenecor shipped me some stain to do a touch up.

It's been a cool experience. Once I have the tank set up and my discus swimming in it, be sure there will be a bunch of pics for you all to check out!

BTW - I went with the standard tank and I'm installing my own wet/dry filter.

I have the standard tanks. The only filters I use are sponge filters and a diatom filter once a week on a rotating manner. All tanks are drilled with a 2" bulkhead for water changes. Mine are about 10 years old and are still in good shape.
