Hey all!
Figured I'd drop in and say Hi, as well as get some advice to start my time off here
Just to let you all know exactly what I'm dealing with here, I have 2 fancy goldfish (One Lionhead, One Oranda, I will post pictures when I get done with their latest tank cleaning) and they are huge. My mom loves to call them "Floating Softballs," and they are my babies.
That being said, they are getting a tank upgrade! Currently they are together in an Aqueon 55 gallon tank, I have 3 Fluval filters: 1 Hang on the Back 5 stage 50 gal, 1 Hang on the Back 5 stage 70 gal, and 1 45 gal canister filter #206 if I remember correctly. (Let's face it they're goldfish they make a lot of waste to begin with, then figure in how huge they are.)
I'm hoping to get them a 90 gallon tank, and while I am a big fan of Aqueon tanks and seriously want to get them a 90 gal. Aqueon. My Mother wanted to check around and found a 90 gallon Perfecto for less money.
Now, I have read on here and other forums about Perfectos having leaks, explosions, cracks, etc. And I want to make sure that my babies are safe because I can't replace them and I'd love to expand this pair into a school by getting some more goldies.
That being said, please let me know from your experiences what's worked better for you: Aqueon or Perfecto.
If I even consider looking at these Perfecto tanks I will be taking measurements of the glass, checking seals, and I may even go as so far as to ask the place if we can do a leak check. (It's "That Fish Place, That Pet Place" in Lancaster that has the Perfectos, so I'm hoping they can do that if I feel it needs to be done.)
Thanks for the help guys!
