Aquagiant Tanks?
 

Hi
I ordered a custom tank from Aquagiant, and someone told me that their tanks, can leak or explode, any feed back on Aquagiant tanks?

Thanks

all tanks can leak,all tanks can explode.....aquagiant.... it is what it is and you get what you pay for......fwiw mine was fine from them

Mine is also aqua giant and about 3 years old@ 180g

Well here is my thoughts;
I have heard many bad stories and talked to a few people first hand that had their Aquagiant tanks break or explode.
This is not a place a would pick to save a few dollars, everything else relies on the strength of the tank. Not to mention changing a tank at a later date is a huge job, totally not worth it.
If you want a custom tank try Dave at Concept Aquatics http://www.conceptaquatics.ca/ there is several threads on here about Dave and his great work.

Agree 100%

I personally own 12 custom aquagiant tanks - 90 gallon custom sizes.
so far, I haven't had any problems with them.
I am sure that there are horror stories out there about most tank companies if they have been around long enough.
I think you should be fine.

My custom sump is fine.

Any tank can leak or crack.

I had a aqua giant 180 with curved glass. Exploded the day after I filled it. 😡

I was gonna say that I thought the problems they were having was with the curved tanks.
apparently, in one case that is so.

I guess I should add that the tanks that I heard about first hand were the curved glass tanks.

I think the glass gets week when it's heated and cooled improperly

Bowfront is one tank I personally wouldn't buy myself. They do look nice but I have heard too many problems with them and even store bought manufactured bowfront tanks included!

The tank I ordered is 60" X 24" X 30" high with the Chinese version of Starphire glas on 3 sides, and in 5/8" / 16mm thick glass, and David is going to the assembly, gluing and drilling the sump here. So it's 187 gallons, my first reef tank, and will use a 75 gallon sump underneath. So i'm glad, majority of you people didn't have horror stories other than the person with the bow front.

As long as they use 5/8" which is close to 16mm and not 5/16" it should be good. Good luck with the future reef!

My buddy 180 gal curved glass exploded too.

The worst part is when I called them. I got a sorry bout your Luck.

Are their strait glass tanks fine. Looking at a used 280 made by them

Thanks

Yah I bought a 40 gal for my sump and on the 2nd day running it sprang a leak. Almost everything I have purchased from their has broke pretty fast. If there is one thing I have learned in this hobby, its that you get what you pay for. I enjoy paying more money knowing that I have purchased a superior product and that I wont be replacing the item in the near future.

going with a chinese version of any glass is definitely a wise choice

Ok, was that serious or sarcastic remark?

I learnt real quick in this hobby you definately get what you pay for and chinese products are some of the worst on the market. I will stick with quality German, US and Austrailian products myself

I have a 40 gallon from there. Had it for about two years and have had no problems what so ever.

35 gal sump. Running two years, no problem.

Wonder why they not selling 1 pc (seamless) aquarium any more.
