*MARINELAND TANK RECALL!*

[Flippers4pups]

Heads up everyone that has purchased a marineland tank built recently!

Wow. I purchased 2 of those in early July at a retail location. I hope they were built much earlier, because they are both wet and I don’t want to break them down.

The tanks usually have a date built tag somewhere in the frame area. See if you can find one.

Edit, this will be interesting to follow

Whew! Just went back and checked when I purchased them, and is was 5/31. Funny how you forget these things.

 

[Flippers4pups]

This is still new news as they had sent this to retailers and distributors and wholesalers.

From what I understand they will publicly broadcast this soon.

While a major inconvenience to swap a tank, I think it’s great that they seem to be proactive in handling this.

oof.

The phrase “ out of an abundance of caution” always worries me

 

[Sailfinguy21]

Ill stick to older tanks. Seems i hear nothing but stories of modern tanks leaking

 

[MERKEY]

Phew no 75g

I have a 150 with date code JAN 2019 though.....hope it will be ok

 

[Mrs. Herbert]

This has me worried for a second. I have a 75 gallon tank running right now, found the date tag of May 2016. Thanks for the info.

Tag is usually under the back top rim. That’s an ‘ouch’ though.

Yeah me too, mine is drilled now and wet for over 17 months.

I think I lucked out, just bought one recently, 125 gallon corner-flo, and my built by date is Oct, 2018.
