Please give me your opinion on my new rimless tank.

[vtecintegra]

Just had my new 3/4", four foot tank delivered. Here are some photos of things I noticed. I really want some honest opinions. Is this the norm with a new custom tank?

 

[vtecintegra]

And a couple more.

That seems to be just a bit sloppy to me. Don’t think I would accept it being “new”.

 

[Vested]

No bueno, who is it from and how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking.. Unless you got it for super cheap or something id defiantly ask for a replacement or refund. Some of those seams are defiantly concerning imo

 

[Jekyl]

I would ask for a new tank

 

[vtecintegra]

This tank was ~$2300 shipped. This IS actually a "replacement". First tank had many more "concerns".

 

[See Gee Sea]

For that price, I would absolutely not accept it.

 

[Ta2oodfreak]

Absolutely not...sloppy work and unacceptable for that price point

 

[40g Nano]

No way I would accept that
Get your refund and buy from someone else if this is the second time

 

[Ta2oodfreak]

So....who built it?

 

[NeonRabbit221B]

I agree that I wouldn’t accept that... it’s not squared up and while I’m not sure the size I wouldn’t want water in my floor

 

[vtecintegra]

I know everyone wants to know who built it. Right now I'm going to hold up on saying until I communicate with the builder. The first tank I immediately could not accept. With no push back, this tank was produced as a replacement to the first. I was very grateful, but I'm disappointed now with the entire thing. I'm replacing a tank with silicone failure from a custom builder in Singapore, now two back to back tanks from a US company have not met my expectations.

Please keep your opinions coming. Looking for confirmation that I'm not being overly anal or too picky before I say anything.

RETURN THAT CRAP. My 150$ nuvo tank was built better than that. Sorry.

 

[NeonRabbit221B]

If they push back, send them this thread and then post the name. You should check that the inside is squared up too and bottom

That is a very “stand up” thing to do, not mentioning the builders name until you get it ironed out.
If this was a replacement for a poorly built tank, it should have gone through better QC and definitely NOT been shipped out in that condition.
Very poor workmanship. I would demand a refund.

 

[gmeazy01]

Yeah if they don't give you a better replacement or refund yeah tell us who it is and I will definitely share this post to everyone and swear to never buy a tank from them.

 

[CanuckReefer]

Not a chance. No thanks . Sorry for your dilemma....they need to do MUCH better than that.

Honestly it looks like someone’s first attempt at building a tank. For the same money you can get a Waterbox or CADE.

This is terrible, I feel bad for you. I don't think companies ever think about how much of a pain returns are or maybe they are counting on it being such a pain people will not do returns. If you pay a premium then you should expect great this is not even close to good.
