So I know this is going to seem like a strange question, but I bought the tank at least 8 or so years ago when I was in high school. For the life of me, I can't find any sort of email receipt or old box. I was operating under the assumption that it was a 12 gallon JBJ nano cube. However that seems to be wrong. I ordered a stand for the 12gallon nanocube and the tank is about 2 inches too wide.

Tank has no other markings or logo. Picture is attached. What the heck is this? Really need to find out so I can properly retrofit (especially with lights) going forward.

It is an all in one tank with 3 chambers in the back. My rough measurements are 16.5 tall with canopy, 16.5 wide, and 15 deep. I emailed JBJ and they said they have not changed the dimensions of their nano over this time period and the current dimensions are 15.8” x 13.8” x 14.8”

not entirely sure what you are asking but what i can tell you is that your tank is roughly 17.6 gallons (16.5x16.5x15/231=17.678)

I'm trying to determine the model/manufacturer.

Just guessing but it sounds like a 14G biocube, but they typically have a front lid that says biocube? Shoot a pic of the tank itself.

The stand looks like a older JBJ model.

Anyone else recognize the tank just by taking a look at it? I will try to get more pictures later, but the last time I checked I couldn't see any identifying features. I probably bought this thing 7-8 years ago

The picture is more stand and less tank. I think we're going to need some more detailed pictures of the tank

I can say almost for certain, it's not a jbj 12 gal, if that helps. I have a jbj 12, and the stand is exactly like the one you have, but the tank doesn't hang over the edge

It appears to be a rectangular one.
