So my marineland corner pentagon sprung a leak. It was old. Very old
I bought the 54 bow corner today from Petsmart
First, the stand is a rim rather than a platform like the old marineland tank stand.
In the front of the stand it has a door.
Because of this door, the upper rim is COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED in this area.
I've filled it about 1/3, and I can slide this piece of paper between the tank and the stand. Its about a 20" stretch this can be done. 6" past each side of the door. Theres also some slight areas randomly where I can slide the paper through.
Where the door is, you can FLEX this rim. Therefore it will NEVER support the tank.
Am I crazy they would sell me that? Is it not an issue? If it was an issue, wouldn't they have a major recall disaster or something?
On a general note, I can't believe I paid them that much money for this stand. Grrrr
