Hello everyone, I am considering a cda 225 gallon 72x30x24. I would greatly appreciate any feedback from some of you guys that have one or has had one for example would you get another one why or why not, what you liked, didn't like, was it worth it, or any other useful info. This will be our first major tank, so just trying to get it right the first time! Thanks

I worked at an LFS a couple years ago right when Crystal Dynamics started taking over for LeeMar aquariums. We really liked LeeMar so we ordered from Crystal Dynamics assuming it would be the same quality. Within the first year we had countless problems with their tanks. Overflow boxes cut too low. Holes drilled in the wrong places. 2 leaky tanks, very very long lead times. In the end we switched to Visio for our custom tank needs and didn’t look back. Since then I have seen many shops stock the Crystal Dynamics tanks and have nothing but good to say. Maybe what I experienced was growing pains but it still wasn’t fun.
