How old is your Marineland tank?

[AydenLincoln]

I saw Polo Reef’s Marineland tank blew a seam my biggest fear so I’m wondering what is the longest you’ve had a Marineland for? Do you still have it up and running what size? I have my 75-gallon Marineland I bought used and it was made in 2018. So knock on wood. I had too many Aqueon tanks leak on me but no leak has been catastrophic but every time I see a leaking tank it makes me so nervous.

That was the Deep Dimension series tanks...........they stopped making them. The 36" width and the 27" height were a poor design. The most common to break were the 250 amd 300.

Standard Marineland tanks will last you decades.

My 32 gallon marineland tank was purchased in 2006 (the sticker is still on the tank), so its 18 years old now. I just filled it up again last week, it will be my seahorse tank.

My mom is still running my marineland 75g I bought in 2002 - the smaller ones will last a LONG time.

This makes me so much better!

The marineland 300 deep dimensions were beautiful but had issues with seams failing.
The extra width made for a great aqua-scape platform.
I wanted one back in the day but after seeing all the seam failures, not getting one may have been a blessing in disguise.
I recently had an Aqueon 60 breeder seam fail, that made a huge mess. I can’t even imagine the mess and damage 300 gallons would make.
Marineland had a recall on them but that was years ago.
Personally, I wouldn’t purchase any cheap tank larger than 40 gallons today, they are cheap for a reason.
I’m purchasing a planet aquarium 62g for my son’s room. Planet aquarium makes good quality tanks, they also do custom sizes.
In general, they don’t make anything like they used to.
I have 2 all glass aquarium 40 breeders and my 210, those are all at least 10 years old. Probably older.
The Aqueon / all glass aquariums 40 breeders used to be made with 1/4” glass, they are now made with 3/16” glass. Same with the 60 breeders, made with 3/16” glass, imo too thin.

I have a 75gallon corner I inherited from my mom. I've had it up 15 years, she had it for 10. I was doing a full change today and the silicone in one back seam peeled off inside. Anyone have suggestions on resealing? Can I just do the vertical? The rest seem to still be adhered well and it wasn't leaking before I took her down this morning.
