Oh my lord so sorry to read this. Wish I was close so I can give a hand. If you have time for a real custom tank pm me and give me specs how you want it and I'll hook you up with the master of glass tanks in Texas. This can't happen again .
Dave, if we had it to do over, we would have gone with a custom tank builder from the start. Having said that, there are a lot of these tanks out there that have not had seal issues. These mass-produced tanks are appealing as you get a lot of bang for the buck. In the end, it's all about minimizing the risk and planning for the unexpected.I am beginning to seriously question if this was a good purchase.
Christian, Thanks so much for the kind words and offer of help - very much appreciated!Sorry to hear about your misfortune. You two are the strongest reef aquarium enthusiast I have ever met. I know you will come back with a vengeance! And it will be even more gorgeous! Yell if you need anything! I am not too far away! About 4 miles from Chester Aquaria.
As mentioned above you guys are the most dedicated refers I think I've ever heard of! I know you'll come back from this stronger and better than ever!
I agree with the fact that the 300 DD is a lot of bang for the buck. And we really love the dimensions! As we discussed previously the warranty with using the Marine Land stand sounds strong. And since it is already in the house (which was an accomplishment in itself) I think we are going to move forward with the build. We wish you guys the best of luck with everything and can't wait to see your reef back in action!
No sir.Mike & Terry,
Would you buy another Marineland again?
Very sorry to hear about this happening. Wish I was closer to help. On the bright side I can only imagine what the come back will be.
I hope all your fish and corals make it through the transition fine.
ppffff, just reading this.... good to see that everything is still alive !!
I never trusted this mass produced tanks, now I know why again. A custom made is so much better !
Hope you start real soon.
To close with a positive note... be back with a stunning scape
Thank You so much for your kind words, compliments AND especially your support! We truly are appreciative!Wow, so sorry to hear of your bad luck. I have been drooling over your tank for a couple of years. I know that you will come back stronger than ever. I hope everything survives and does well. One day I hope my tank is as beautiful as your was and will be again. Best of luck moving forward.
Our tank is not a stock 300g DD. It was custom built by Perfecto (Marineland) and there is no question that the seal rupture is due to a defect in this case.
That's too bad Mike and Terry. I'm glad to see the community and LFS are supporting you guys so well.
How can you tell it was a defect?
At this point I'm seriously considering installing a drip tray/drain pipe mechanism into the new 120's stand.
Thanks Jackie and yes, we are lucky to have great friends and local club members who have been real troopers to help us out. We can't thank them enough.Wow guys! I just caught up and read what happened! I am soooo sorry. I had just joined r2r back when the first one broke. Thankfully you have a lot of good people helping out I would be there too if I lived closer
