This will be the end of this thread for my 60 cube and unfortunately it is ending in tragedy. The tanks seam is failing after less than a year. Yes, the tank is level, yes the stand is flat, yes It is sitting on foam. If anyone is thinking about getting a Marineland 60 gal cube. DO NOT DO IT. Mine is not the only story of failure and after talking to others apparently there is a problem with these tanks busting seams. I am heart broken as I put in a lot of work to get this set up goin. At some point in the very near future I will have a new build threat going for this tanks replacement. I hope my sea horse can survive the process.

I'm sorry to hear that. I heard that a lot as well about marineland tanks when I worked at a pet store and I even had people who had bought them from like PetSmart and completely reseal them.
