Thread: Oceanic stamp... what does it look like?

    Default Oceanic stamp... what does it look like?

    I am trying to find the oceanic stamp but I can not. The guy I got this tank from in Austin said it was an oceanic tank. He said that he had someone from Aquatek come out and put the tank up. I beleive that is what he said but it might have been another store. He said something about it was a purchase where multiple 180 tanks were purchased at the same time. He said about two and a half years agoa, which would be about three years ago now.

    I can not find any stamp at the top of the tank. Maybe he thought it was an oceanic and it wasn't. Should this date stamp thing be easy for me to see??? Does anyone remember/was a part of this mutliple 180 puchase????

    If it is indeed oceanic, then I might be in luck. Otherwise, I have found no one that will even reseal it without a warranty. I get names and numbers, call them, and haven't heard anything back. :unsure

    Anyone got a pic of this stamp thing I should be looking for? Thanks

    Bottom right corner of my tank.

    Also have a sticker on the upper right hand corner on the inside that has the manufacture date on it. I just can't get to it right now to take a picture.

    You may not see a sticker if it has been peeled away. Look for things like exact fitting plastic trim and edged glass. Look to see if the edges of the pane have been sanded to a bevel. That is a sign of a quality tank and most likely an Oceanic. Other items would be seriously thick glass. Most of the time the manufacturers just have a little slip of paper under the tank that might say who quality checked it and when.

    Oceanic 120 reef ready. Upper right hand front corner, underneath the moulding. I have to look from inside the tank to see it. It shows the letters "FM", date of manufacture and a serial number.

    I remember seeing a quality control sticker on the bottom of my tank before I put sand in it.
