I'm looking to get a bigger tank. I would love to do a 90 gallon cube something like the marineland cube but i've hear bad reviews on them. My other idea is doing an Auqeon 120g. My main issue with a rimed tank is have the bottom split open because of the lip between the glass and the rim. Is this a common issue to happen or am I worried for no reason? I like the 90 gallon cube the most because I love the rimless design and the look a cube offers.

My Questions after my rant haha.
- Have you personally had issues with the marineland cube tanks? (My old 60 gallon had no issues for over 4 years.)
- Should I be worried about a 120 with a rim having the bottom rip out/leak.

I love the look. I actually bought one used on craigslist and was going to set it up.

After researching more I kept seeing folks mention that flow is really tough to get right without dead spots or just hammering it with flow.

Ended up going with a more traditional 4'x2'x2' dimensions.

Do a ton of research and don't rush into anything and you'll be happy!

I don’t know but I have an 80 gallon deep blue rimless and it’s been great!
