Buying a new 120g advice needed.

jbeanz24 · Mar 17, 2013

Hey everyone I am purchasing a new 120 g 4x2x2 this coming weekend. I have three choices as far as tank brand at my LFS. Aqueon , Deep Blue & Marine Land. Both the aqueon and deep blue tanks have 2 overflows on the back glass , the Marineland has one corner over flow. Right now i am leaning towards the Marineland since the corner over flow really saves floor space. Is one overflow sufficient ? I also wanted to know out of the three manufacturers who has the better build quality. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard the deep blue uses quality glass. Never owned any of those brands one so i cant vouch first hand.

I am sure they are all good tanks but I would go with the Marineland. I think one overflow would be plenty for a 120 and it gives you more space in the tank. They also have been around a long time and have a good build quality. I own a Marineland deep dimension 300 gallon and I love it. good luck with it and share some pics when its up and running.

I would go with the corner overflow as long as it has dual drain pipes.

I have the Aqueon, I think the two overflows is a better option. You get more balanced movement in the tank. If I had the choice though I would go with the Deep Blue.

I have aqueon and two overflows. But I only use one. I have had this tank running for years with no problems. My tanks is sps and Lps mix. If I could redo it I would go with the corner overflow.
