Default Re: ADA style stand and frameless tank

ZQ. Understandable, but when you pay 85 dollars per part for ADA and 20 dollars per part for Flo, can you really expect them to look the same?

The main purpose of both the Flo pipes and the ADA pipes is that they do not stand out in the tank, thus they are made from glass. If they were being viewed as a stand-alone art piece, ofcourse the ADA are much better, as you get what you pay for. But once they are in the tank, they will "disappear" into the scape, and you shouldn't really see them, unless you never clean them! Right?

That is why I always wondered why people paid so much for ADA stating that the pipes were so beautiful, but when you look at an ADA tank, do you really see the pipes? Do you focus on them? If so then it defeats the whole purpose of having ADA pipes in the first place, just save the money and keep the green Eheim Pipes. Then youcan really see all the equipment.
