Sternco Aluminum Aquarium 1970 Ad

Several aquarium tank manufacturers have tried their hand at manufacturing aluminum-framed aquariums. Starting with Peerless and Jewel Aquarium in the 1910s-1920s and ending with Sternco and Hagen in the 1970s. The cost of the aluminum was always the factor as to why they did not catch on.
