Do I chance it on another Aqueon or Marineland?

[AydenLincoln]

I’m having difficulties finding a 75-gallon Marineland or SeaPora tank! Do I take my chances on getting another 75-gallon Aqueon tank? The first leaked after just over a month. Are they all bad tanks or end up leaking overtime or do you think it was a fluke? I have a little tank and used to have a 10 gallon Aqueon for years. So I’m wondering if I should get another one?

I think they are probably just poorer quality overall, and short of a 20gallon long for quarantine tank, I wouldn't trust anything larger for long term.

Depending where you are, you could look for second hand tanks either at your LFS or local listings/reef clubs. Plenty of people bail out of the hobby due to not properly researching or having the dedication to continue to overcome the challenges of reefing.

Throw a thread on the marketplace as "want to buy", this is used way less than people selling and you might get a hit.
