Marineland tanks

[cdemoss01]

Has anyone had experience with marineland tanks? I currently have one and am currently having anxiety about a seam fail. Anybody ever have any issues with seams or the tank itself? Tank is 65 gallons tall 4 feet long and 1 foot wide.
Thanks

I think regardless of manufacturer you will find issues out there. Even custom builders get their negative reviews.

Alright thank you. This is one of my biggest fears so i'm pretty nervous about it lol.

I have a marineland tank, built in 2006 (sticker is still on it), and using it up to right now. It survived 5 moves over the years. I currently have a nicrew light and aquamaxx skimmer hanging off the back.

its still in perfect shape and I have not a single complaint about it.

I actually prefer them. I have one that is 6 years old, and one that is five. I like the black silicone look. This one is the 5 yo one.

Oh wow thank you guys! @Reefer Matt ..Matt your tank is looking immaculate! Reef of the month soon? And also how do you get the Reef2Reef sign?

I will say that if you leak tested it, and it's been running without leaking, I would trust it a LOT further than any rimless tank.

How exactly do I leak test it?

Put it in the garage with water in it and watch for a couple days.

Fill it with water and let it sit lol.

Troylee and nereefmatt... this tank has been up for 4 years with stuff in it lol. Joking right?

I was going to ask about that...

If it isn't leaking by now, I bet you won't ever have trouble with it.

You’re very welcome! Thanks! Just another sps tank. It’s only 75 gallons. Plenty of ROTM ones out there! They made a limited quantity of the lights and sold out. But I bet they will make more, as there is a lot of interest.

mine is a 75 gallon and 5 years old, I had an older one, but previous owner scratched the glass. it was 10+ years old. Zero leak issues that I've had

 

[MnFish1]

yes but it was a used 210 gallon those I think were known to have problems. In fact all tanks can have seam leaks

i had a marine land 120 at 4 years bottom seam started leaking. now i have a miricles 120, no comparrison in build quality. over 75gal i wouldnt use a big store tank.

Sounds good! 75 gallons is still a good size. Too bad on the lights.

Hi, can you show pictures of it to get the best answer and fix, I had a seam fail, I used strong super glue on it, and it was fine.

Lol thank you for the concern but I am not having seam issues just anxiety. I appreciate it though.
