Are the Dollar per gallon tanks worth buying for a sump or for a regular display tank?

I would just look over the sealant well to make sure you're picking out a good one. I've seen a few sloppy sealant jobs, but that's true of any chain store. They make great tanks and you may be able to drill some of them if you want to make reef ready as long as the panels aren't tempered glass.

I got my 40b and 20l there 1.5 yrs ago...no issues at all with them.
