90 Gallon Surfline Tank

Lawman5014 · 07/08/2014, 08:23 PM

Hi, I've been using the search tool on the site to find some decent reviews on a 90 Gallon Surfline tank but have had no success. If anyone can please give me some honest reviews on this tank I'd greatly appreciate it. I've found mixed reviews on the "general internet" but I try to stick to info I find on this site.

I've found some reviews (general internet) saying it was great and no complaints whereas I've found some others saying the S or wave shape in the Surfline can lead to some leakage problems. I've got an opportunity to buy the tank pictured here for pretty cheap ($400 total for everything you see) and wanted to get a few opinions before I commit to a new tank style that I'm not familiar with.

Thanks in advance to everyone. I always appreciate the advice I get here and try to give back the little bit of knowledge I've acquired in the past couple of years where I can.

Hmm... I like it. Judging from the pictures, it looks like a great concept. Plus, it could give you loads of options in terms of your water flow with the curve in the glass and all, but it could present challenges.

The only thing bad I've heard about them is they are hard to take pictures of because of the curved glass.

Haha, pictures? I'm fine with that and hope that's the only complaint most people on here have heard. My tanks never look anywhere as good as everyone else's here so I get embarrassed about posting anything and don't really take pics anyways for that reason.

So long as it holds water I'll be happy. Maybe I'm overly paranoid but the one lone person I found online that said the curved shape tends to cause leaks - well I just hope he was an isolated incident.
