Large Tank Help

[12 Volt Man]

I have never heard of Seaphora before, is that a regional thing as they’re on the east coast? I have two AGA(now Aqueon) 210g’s in storage and they weigh far more than all my 7ft 240g’s as 12 Volt Man mentioned. They were definitely built better, almost as good as Oceanic. I do like that Marineland and Aqueon use black silicone in their reef ready tanks as I loathe clear silicone.

To answer your question as long as they’re in similar shape I’d choose the Aqueon for the added water volume.

see, thats the thing, they both call them 1/2 inch thick but if you compare them in store side by side, the Marineland glass is about a mm thinner than Aqueon. They use the same glass on their 150s, 180s, 220s and 265g tanks. It's slightly thinner. I'm not trying to argue I'm just pointing out what I have seen.

it was like that too when I bought my Aqueon back in the day. The local fish store had a marineland 265 set up and the glass on my Aqueon 150g was thicker.

but yes the bottom glass is thicker on the marineland because it's normal not tempered.
