So, I have had an interesting Sunday. After raising the temp and adding salt to my 210 AG (Aqueon, I guess now) aquarium a few days ago, it seems to have sprung a leak. I don't know if the water temp did it, addition of salt water, combo of the two or just an absolute coincidence. Since Aqueon supposedly has a lifetime warranty on their tanks, I am hoping to see if they will do something about it, but I am sure their answer will be "Tough luck". I bought the tank secondhand and it wasn't in perfect condition as it was, it is a little bit older model of their 210, but new enough to have the megaflow overflows.
I have found the area I believe to be leaking, but it is at the very bottom of one of the corners, but somehow the entire base of the aquarium is soaked from a slow drip. Not sure if I have found THE place or ONE place that it is leaking, seems to have busted many seems at one time. So I drained it and moved the fish.
With all of that being said, I am actually going ahead and looking into ordering a 96x48x24 acrylic tank to be the final tank I buy, don't want to go any larger than that. So I am looking at actually buying my first brand new tank. I have found a couple of sites that sell them but I think they are all resellers of the same tank cause they are all the same price, etc.
I will be running a sump, so I would like to have overflows and holes already drilled and ready to go when it shows up. The cheapest tank only I have found is 2899$ BEFORE overflows, for some reason they want $350 extra for 2 overflows...
Does anybody have any good sources of affordable acrylic tanks that might be a bit more customizable and not crazy expensive?
