Deep Blue?

Anyone have success with the Deep Blue rimless and/or rimmed cubes?

They make really good tanks but the stock overflow leave a lot to be desired.

This sums it up. The bulkheads they come with are worthless too. I have had my 30 rimless frag tank for 5 years. Just took it down last week, never had any issues with it.

They make nice tanks. The over flows work well enough, not like they have 1/2 inch drains or anything, just not the greatest.

What do you all mean by the overflows aren't the greatest? What issues are there with them? What issues with bulkheads? Did you replace them?

 

[kschweer]

Most think the overflows are way oversized for the tanks. They take up a lot of room. As for the bulkheads they are cheaply made and poor quality. I had one break on me and have heard of many more doing the same thing. I simply bought new ones.

While not cubes, I have two of the 80g tanks and have had no issues

Do yourself a favor and buy the "synergy type" overflow and drill the bulkheads yourself. You can get them pretty cheap on ebay. Buy the rimless non-reef ready tank

I would do it this way if I had to do it all over again. I replaced the stock bulkheads as well. They did a sloppy job with the silicone on mine looks ugly. Not the best workmanship which is a shame because the glass is nice but simply not that great of a tank because of laziness
