The tank that exploded was a custom build, and yes, ouch. I have taken down my 45 lagoon, 3' X 2' X 1'. The tank is ok. These are made in China, but nice. All beveled glass, some small chips they try to bevel out though. The stand is almost a throw away unless you get the plywood upgrade. Be prepared to get all the metric to standard pipe adapters for the plumbing, as it comes w/ metric bulkheads. The durso drain is loud, they will put holes in the tank before delivery on request. Decide how you can go be an animal or Herbie and still have returns from the pump not going over the top of the tank. The sump is almost useless because the baffles are low, I made a acrylic piece to raise my skimmer section 2 & 1/2 inches. All the extras: sell before you use. The pump mixes my saltwater. The ato reservoir is glass & very thin, chipped a corner washing it in the sink. I never got a skimmer from them. Tank was really nice except the drain. Figure out how to put in external overflows or returns to be happy in 3 years. But again, all that aside, the tank itself was nice.
