Anyone have any experience with a marine land 300 gallon corner overflow tank? I’m thinking about getting one. I have my stock list which I may expand. I would like a Emperor angel
Blue hippo tang
Blonde Naso
Flame angel
Porcupine puffer
Flame hawk
Kole tang
Flasher wrasse
Yellow corris wrasse
 
Spend some time on Google doing your research on Marineland Tanks before making the purchase. Several years ago I was planning on purchasing a 250 gallon tank and the Marineland Tanks had horrible ratings and many blowouts on their larger aquariums. I am not sure if they have improved or not, but if you are buying it new, you may want to check out better brands since you will be paying a few thousand anyway and it may not be that much more to get a tank from a more reliable company or even a custom built one.

If you do end up going with it, check the silicone seals and report any issues as soon as possible. Even the smallest imperfection on a tank that size could be disastrous.

On a side note: I do remember that the Marineland Tanks that advertised Starphire glass only had it on the front panel so moving from the front to the side view was a drastic difference and would have annoyed the heck out of me, but they may have changed or that may not be an issue for you.

Thank you! I am now thinking about custom or just buying used. Used is so much cheaper and I can get a good quality tank.
