New tank info

It is a very nice tank, perhaps a tad high on price but oh well, The considerations you must make when you buy a tank are these. What are you going to keep in it? Trigger fish can tear up an acrylic tank, what are you going to grow in it, lighting will be very important too. Are you going to use a sump and/or a refugium? You can spend a lot of money on a tank and leave the other considerations short. I am only saying, do your homework on the entire package.

Thanks guys......they seem to sell alot of them they are opening another store...i guess i was just hoping to run into someone who had bought one.
It seemed kinda cheap to me thats why i asked....was at big als last weekend and they were very exspensive.

Be wary, I've heard negatives about their tanks, glass cracking, bottoms popping out. I'd find out what their warranty is like. Another store, really? They had 2 and closed one down over a year ago.

lol......the warranty is the least of my worries....if i came home to the bottom busted out,and 120 gallons of water on my floor I would be looking for alot more than a new tank,maybe a new house.

SO TRUE! I almost bought one of the corner units about 2 years ago but after hearing the rumours of them busting and cracking easily I went else where. They are nice tanks though.

I've seen them and they look okay though personally didn't like the curved corners. Friend picked up a chipped 180g (for apaludarium) same style and it seems solid. Never confirmed but heard the plumbing isn't imperial so could be a problem if changing things up later.

If cost is a big factor, look around here on Canreef lots a deals on used equipment. Also on Kijiji, a bit back and there was a 250 and 280g FS if you where thinking bigger.
