I can't answer any of that. All that I know is that the tanks I ordered are on
backorder and that they are being discontinued. Anything beyond that is pure
speculation.
I assume that it is either:
1) they are expensive to make and are not sellng well.
or
2) the design has been superseded by a new design and the old ones are being
phased out
