Hello all. A good acrylic tank maker business not far from me is selling a reduced priced acrylic with " Cosmetic imperfections" That comes with their warranty if i buy their metal stand. They told me these imperfections are comestics and dont affect the integrity of the tank. These are only on the top of tank.
Tank is 96x36x24 and its 3/4" thick acrylic all around.

Kinda looks like they messed up the glue when it was put together. But, can't really tell form those shots. The cracking fatigue looking stuff, don't know what they did there. Warranty is a good thing, but do you want it to fail and have all that water in the house first?? Hmm, just my opinion of course.
You could fill it and leave it sit for a week and see if it holds for you, in the garage or something.

im not too worried at all. Its the top portion of it. People have rimless tanks with no issues. .Tank maker assure me its all comestic and will not affect integrity of tank
 
Hehe true that lol

Sometimes you just need to hear the other side of an argument to know your true feelings.

You came out all guns blazing...you clearly want the tank!

I can’t see a reputable builder selling you a duff tank.

Come on then how much did you save?
