Looks great, I love the depth on my 300DD ;-)Added some corals and took out the 8" Formosa he was hunting a little to much digging everywhere
Very nice aqua scaping and the depth makes it so nice.
Visit my build if you have the chance.

What did marineland change in their construction of the 300dd?

Huh?
I feel like I should jump in here. My 300 DD gal Marineland failed Saturday. Feel devasted. Lost several fish. Lost all coral because we spent hours trying to save fish and lessen house damage. Yes it was the seal. A plop sound, I turn around and two torrents streaming out the right and left sides of front bottom seal. Please don't get one. We were very careful with tank etc. But if you go online, there are way too many stories - re: Marineland DD tanks. They should be responsible and recall them.
I don't want to dampen your plans, but look into other options. We also put tremendous time, care and effort in our tank. Would hate to see anyone else go through this.

I’m truly sorry for that. My previous broke in a similar fashion with the same characteristics when draining :-(
Can I ask when the tank has been bought and if the bottom had white silicone in it?
They did change a few things on my new one which came fresh from the factory end of last year.
Sorry again, and I hope you get them taking care of the damages.
They seemed to be Ok but I had only the tank to claim in my case.
Makes me all thinking again :-(
Purchased tank January 2015. Clear seals.
I know how you feel. We are struggling on how to rebuild after this. I feel like I will be on edge whenever I go out of town now, if we can redo the tank.
Maybe they learned their lesson. But it is upsetting they have not recalled the ones that were obviously defective.
True!!! Not responsible at all by Marineland !!!!
So you had white clear silicone in the bottom seals? And the vertical ones are black?!
Do you have a picture of the built sticker? Its an anchor with some data and is behind the black top frame only to see from the inside the tank.
Curious what is says!!!

Thx.
Did you contact them already ?
Keep pictures of all damages and let their insurance guy coming out.
We are taking pictures now of damages. I didn't take any of dead fish or coral. I was too upset and it never entered my mind.
One frustrating thing is that told me I have to keep the tank. And keep it intact until they can look at the seals. I get it. They want to avoid fraud. But I want this beast out of my living room and my fish back. A friend came to our rescue & is holding them for me while I regroup.
I don’t want to dampen enthusiasm any new or current 300 DD tank builds in any way. Just wanted to share if it could prevent any future mishaps. I hope everyone with a current tank or in the midst of a build has a successful thriving tank and wish them the best.
