Top Fin Vs Aqueon Tanks

[gwand]

Do you have glass lids on yours? If so what brand and how do they fit?

My tanks came with plastic lids fitted with LED light arrays.

Mine with plastic lids. I removed the lights and still use them but everything else went away.

Yeah, Marineland is top quality. Have to go to a local fish store though to get those tanks either in stock or special ordered. Petco and PetSmart I know don't sell them, Pet Supplies Plus may order those but I don't think they have them in stock.

Maybe with the smaller tank Marineland is ok, but with the larger tanks they have serious problems.

They have them at petsmart... At least here they do...

And I've decided on which tank to do!
The winner isss Aqueon

Those are the ones you really DON'T want going wrong

What’s the expected life of a well made tank? I bought Top Fin because the tanks were on sale and I was a novice getting started in the hobby.

Erm...WHAT?? You have to buy the lid separately? What a joke! I'd boycott the brand/shop just on principle talk about extortion! One would expect the lid to be included with the tank

Erm... WHAT!? You guys get them sold TOGETHER?? We don't have that unless its a complete kit!!
I feel gypped over here now

I never had a problem with my 75 gallon marineland tank, I had that one for many years. I love the black silicone on it was just a gorgeous tank I wish I still had it but when I downsized from the last house to this one I had to sell off a lot of tanks, I mean a lot of tanks. My journal's not called slim down fish room for nothing.

Only time I ever got a tank with a lid was when I bought a starter kit. Now I would just as soon take a more modular approach where I pick and choose the different components for my tank.

Bought 2 55s from Petco (Aqueous) and there is a generous amount of silicone. Seem to be pretty durable.

Well I think it's jolly well cheeky
