To use or not to use (tank bow)

Check out crystal dynamics aquariums. They used to be LeeMar and are made right in your backyard.

Those are some nice tanks but the prices just for a tank is pretty pricey. I don't plan on going to crazy in the hobby.

If it really bothers you, you can always take some off the top, or not fill it all the way.
Got a great deal on a 300 gallon custom and turned it into a frag tank without any issues!

It bothers me because I had a Biocube29 bust on me. 29 gallons is a lot with a 21gl sump. I've been in the water hobby for at least 12 years and have never had issues with tanks. Now that I have had a tank break, I feel like a noob again questioning my questions all over lol.

Wow, pics on that 300 frag pls

a have a truview for sale that bows more than that. structurally it's fine but IMO it looks like crap.

I just ordered a custom tank from AGE. I'm stoked but you WILL pay through the nose for a custom tank that has to be shipped.

that said.. my 6x3x24" rimless 300 is going to be epic ******.

I was actually looking at their glass tanks not acrylic. I know Petco is having their 1.00 per gallon sale but I just have many doubts of their build quality.

Doing some reading I seen many people recommend www.glasscages.com for their glass tanks.

I just bought a 75 gallon from Petco for $90. Works perfect. It is an Aqueon tank. I had a 55 from them for many years that I finally gave away. It never leaked either.
The Petco sale is now $1 per gallon for smaller tanks, but starting with the 40B they are 50% off. Still a great deal in my book.
