exoticfrags.us just email him and tell him what you need.

Thank you very much. And 3 " legs it's not too high for a 10" tank? I thought to go with 1.5" why you've decided to go with 3" please?

Room for fish below and flow and pumps under the racks. Plenty of room for me.

Indeed it's nice for fishes, I've missed that. Universal for small diameter plugs you have?

It holds standard and small plugs. So yea it's universal size. If you ask him what racks matt from boom Corals gets he can tell you.

What overflow did you use on this?

I did not put an overflow in; the tank is sumpless. That said, when I get up to two or three, I will add a sump. At that point I will use a simple glass weir.

I can't find these online in Canada... If you check out their website, they have a list of suppliers, perhaps there is one there that will ship in the US...

Funny that this thread popped up today. I purchased one of these tanks at the end of November and had it running until yesterday. I noticed a month or so ago some salt creep along the bottom trim and I just figured I was messy one day one got some water outside the tank and moved on. Yesterday I noticed a nice steady drip coming from the tank. The bottom seal was leaking so I transferred everything to my other frag system and drained it. It looks like the silicone is done poorly along one seam.

I called ZooMed to see what the warranty was on the tank since its only a couple months old and they offer no warranty on there tanks. They actually suggested that I silicone the area better, no mention of scraping the old off or anything like that but I know better than to do that. Guess I will be resealing the tank entirely to fix it but for the cost and perfect footprint I cant complain much. Crap happens.

BTW, I am by no means saying these tanks are junk. I know a lot of places that use them and have never had an issue. I am just lucky

My low boy is still holding up just fine. The only issue I had was that it was not silicones all the way up in the upper corners. My water level is high and it was leaking out the corners. I drained it slightly and siliconed it and the issue went away.

Good to hear. I think my issue is kind of a fluke really. Here is a picture of the bad seam. Looks like they didn’t put hardly any silicone down and it was also never finished, just left a bead. Should make it easily to remove the old silicone to reseal it lol

 

[bubbaque]

I'm gonna keep an eye out for it now.
