Man those tanks are cheap. Either something's wrong or it's a GREAT deal. I suppose if I were doing this over I'd get the oceanic with no top braces. Pricey...

As far as aquatrends, I have one but it was kind of a hassle to say the least; first tank broke at the center brace, holes in the wrong places...eventually they made it right but looking back I would have paid an extra few hundred bucks to not have to go through the stuff I went through.

If you do go aquatrends, try to talk directly with guy who makes the tanks. He's pretty sharp.
