    I just moved into a new house and I am looking to upgrade my tank. I am really liking this tank but I have read a lot of people had problems with leaks. Anyone have any info on this, has marineland corrected whatever the problem was? Any other info or suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot poll. Nothing has changed and they've turned a blind eye.

    The price is good, but with a lot of risk of a flood and complete loss of livestock.

    Does the 250 gallon have the same issues?

    im pretty sure Hunter is telling you its best to avoid Marineland as a company , regardless of their aquarium models.... you folks in the states have mad choices as opposed to us here in Europe, im sure you have better alternatives... believe me peace of mind means a lot in this hobby... I recall my first set up, I would have nightmares about floods and leaks. heck even today when i tinker with my return i have the same nightmares.... plus aquariums are a considerable expense, you want to aim for the best...might cost you a little more initially but you'll get your money back over time

    I have the Marineland 250 DD - I have had it for close to 3 years now with no issues at all. I would not hesitate to but another one.
