cheapest place to buy 125 gallon

I agree with these guys. The tank cracked because of uneven support. The stand actually twisted once the weight of the water was on it. I had a 100 gallon do the same thing. I will now build a stand in the place where it will be used so I know it is totally even and supported. Even if you put a level on the stand and it appears level, it can still twist once the weight is put on it.

Yeah I'm going to take everything out today and check. What about ocean aquatic tanks?

Qs, I strongly recommend to look at your floor and stand and make sure it is level and even before filling up your new tank.

I've had good experiences with the Marineland, and as ptran mentioned, the black silicone is a nice touch. You'll also have more room for scaping and maintenance with 2 holes instead of 3

... and you can save $20 as the same time! :emt_thumbs:

it might be the floor uneven as well. I put my 125 on a long carpet/rug to help when I had this problem

Yeah it cracked about an hour after I was done. Im going to have to check to see if the stand is straight. Because honestly I remember me seeing it a little uneven.

[ptran]

Crack started from way up top where my finger is and went straight towards the bottom corner. Is it because the tank is old?

Did it crack when you are filling? Make sure your stand is level and has good bearing on the ground. I think the uneven ground surface is the culprit.

Fish land has the aqueon 125 for 315 and the Marineland on sale for 295. What route should I go? The aqueon is divided in 3 pieces up top and the Marineland is only 2

I would get the Marineland if you like the black silicone. I think Marineland has better clarity.

I personally just set up a 125 aqueon. I like it. If I was you, look at each one, and what you want to keep in it. If you want large pieces of driftwood, or rocks, I would get the two openings. Check the seals, and look to see which one looks cleaner.

Both are good tanks. Whatever you do, make sure the stand is nice and flat to prevent any pressure points on the glass.

Good luck! Pictures when you get it!

Is there one better than the other?

[barrettsline]

Thats your call. I have always used tanks with only 2 openings in the top.

Sorry about your bad luck . I'm with Barrett on this one ....."it's most likely to be something that happened during transit ". Age of a tank means nothing when it comes to the glass . Age only effects the silicone seams .

Damn man. That sucks. It's doubtful that it was the heater. More like something that was there or something that happened during transit home.
