Questions on 300DD

Well, I gotta hope for the best at this point. I've got a totally overbuilt stand and I'll have it true and level. It sitting on a concrete slab (basement). And it's already held water for about 2 years. But like I said, I will still do a leak test for sure.
 
Hmm…that's got to make you a little nervous. 27 inches isn't that high. Hearing those kind of horror stories would have me thinking about reinforcement. Maybe an additional bead of silicone and/or added framing around the base?

Anyways, hope you have lots of fun with it! And no leaks!
 
Best of luck. That was the exact tank I was looking for until several of the failures started to come about. It even gave me second thought to that size of tank and ended up with a tick over 200 gallons being ordered now.

Really like the tank and some incredible builds here on the forums.

I suppose I could put a thick line of silicone along the bottom seams... is that going to compromise the existing silicone at all? I have inspected the existing seal and there are no issues whatsoever. I guess I will use the ALD module I have in hand. :0)
 
Wow thanks god....after 2 1/2 months marineland...and their insurance made me a settlement offer. We took it...it was not 100% of our lost but still acceptable.

Definitely a good thing!! I had a light start on fire and crash an entire 150 gal tank several years ago... killed all of my fish (well over $1k). The company would do nothing about it. Luckily my LFS was awesome and was able to work with the company to get me replacement value. You problem was way worse! I'm glad they came to an agreement!
 
Thanks...yep it's awesome....I had to take a loss but overall the offer is not bad.... now lets see how fast the check will show up.
