I have had a 200 gallon tank for years.
Just bought a new house (new build).
The boss said no to anything that big, and to be honest the scale of the house would not support the scale of tank.
Went to house after sub-floor was in and did measurements.
Looked at tanks available that fit the scale of the house and bought a MarineLand rimless 93 cube
Since I received this cube (has not been installed yet) several folks in my area say it was a bad idea because they have a known history of seam blow out and complete failure.
Any input on this since my new hardwood floors and (more importantly) my "BOSS" would be," shall we say", much less than happy.
The boss told me when I set up the tank it should be the newest technology and easier to take care of (when I'm gone).
All well and good but does this tank really have a history of seam blow out?
Looking for honest input before I dedicate myself and my new house to this tank.
On a side note, I just grinned when she said newest technology! She has no idea what that means to me verses what she thought she meant!
Again looking for input on whether this tank can be trusted, or should I find another option. I somehow doubt this manufacture with its reputation would sell a tank that has a problem as severe as this, but a well known car manufacture said they had no problem either!
Thanks:
