UNS vs. ADA

[cr9cristiano]

Yet UNS wants to charge ADA prices as a less established company for something by comparison that is inferior however minuscule and in essence is a follower in terms of design and products. But it is what it is. Sometimes it can’t be helped, you get what you can get when it’s available if you need a tank.

I do not see UNS as an inferior product, I prefer their tanks over ADA. That company was also started by Hobbyists, Buceplant.com and UNS are the same company. They are members and friends of the club, they frequently post job openings here.
As far as them trying to charge ADA prices? When is the last time you saw UNS charge $70+ for a diffuser or a piece of glass to feed your fish with? Lol. ADA charges prices that are absurd if you ask me, and it's all because of the branding. There's a reason UNS has grown to what is now in only a few years.

Well said. I actually laughed real hard at the statement, "UNS is for regular people." UNS has made the hobby attainable for us in the US so I’m always happy to give them props. Don't get me wrong, ADA puts out great products but UNS makes the hobby affordable for US residents while maintaining a sense of "aesthetic"

I suppose this can be an agreeable statement, but what sets ADA apart for me is that there is a clear and discerning difference in innovation and desire to produce the most polished product paying attention to usefulness and aesthetic. I don’t see that from uns; Much of which seem like more of the same reiteration of existing brands. But from an option standpoint does allow for another chance to enter the hobby.
