They weren't.... If I do not have a response by noon... I'm going to poke him.Wrong dims, wrong back color, and the 1/2" acrylic on the front and back. I would not accept the tank either, under no circumstances. I'm sure the tank is Eurobraced being that long but 1/2" come on? What were they thinking?
The 1" thickness is actually a huge problem because I just purchased Sicce SDC wavemakers over the holidays and they will not attach to material that thick. It is too late to return and order new ones. Anything that can hold a magnet through 1" material is also going to be very expensive. If the tank was going to be 1" from the jump... I could have ordered accordingly but if you plan for one thing and get another... no bueno.
Of course, all of that is irrelevant if it fails. There is one picture that I took of a hazy seam, which would indicate potential failure down the road. I'm not an expert on acrylic fusing but it makes you go hmmm....
