Hello all. New to the board.
I've had various sized tanks over the years but have decided to upgrade to a new FW 75 gallon tank for our living room. (wife's request). Spent the last several weeks researching acrylic vs glass as well has various tank shapes. I've made the decision to stay with a glass rectangular tank. I have two little children and the thought of them scratching an expensive acrylic tank is more stress than I want at the present time.
We have a local Petco and Petsmart in our town that stock the larger tanks. Are there any known quality issues between these two national chains for their larger tanks. My wife is concerned about leaks. I believe Petsmarts brand is Top Fin/Perfecto/Marineland. Not sure about Petco.
Any brand/quality/durability advice would be appreciated.
Regards;
David
