Hey guys, I am in the market for a new aquarium and am looking for a brand that goes above and beyond with sealing their seams.

I am looking for something around 60 to 75 gallons. I don't even care if it is rimless. In fact, given the recent failures, I would prefer something with more robust construction.

I am familiar with many brand names, but don't really know how well the construction is.
 
Do you have some special use case in mind or just wanting some extra insurance?

The major brands are all constructed well. It's more about the design and size than the brand assuming major known brand.

Braced (framed or euro-braced) will be "stronger" for given level of glass thickness. But rimless make up for that in glass thickness for silicone adhesion area. Plus you can go acrylic and improve strength and almost eliminate failures as well. But it's a trade off on maintenance (scratching).
