There's a chance that it's a problem with the silicone they use, so while the new changes look good, it might not be enough to guarantee safety.
Well let’s hope the silicone quality isn’t relevant now. I believe having a 100lb+ panel of glass overhanging only held on by silicone with the pressure weight of 1000lbs of water had a lot to do with the seams failing than the silicone itself. The added armoring on the bottom and sides also helps with the confidence on top of actually supporting the panel (oh and the leveling mat for rimless I believe should always be used for evening out stress points, which they finally stopped being cheap and included).

I do not recommend All in One Tanks. why? Over Priced for one. Quality does Not Match The Price you pay. Example: Red Sea. Not a bad Tank Just Not worth The money. I can buy a Piece by Piece, System with Better Quality myself and on my Schedule.

All my tanks were made by me. For me it doesn’t matter the brand, I prefer to make it myself so I could choose the dimensions and the glass.
