I have been in the hobby for 2 and a half years and I think its time to upgrade the tank I am looking at the Marineland 300gallon tank and wanted to get if its worth it.

i want one of these tanks as well. The only negative comments that i've heard are regarding the overflows. They are only drilled for 1" bulkheads on the drains, not sure if it's the same for the returns, and most people end up using both holes for the drain and having to modify the overflow teeth. Still a great tank for the money, i believe there around $1800 for just the tank

I paid $1600 for mine with starfire front panel and I love it. Great tank and price

I just got there 93g cube and stand. Stand was built good. Overflow is ok both are one inch drains but the PVC is 1.5 inches and they use a reducer right before the drilled hole so it is only a one inch hole. I would deffenitly buy from them again if I didn't want rimless.

A full set up with every thing like Tank/Stand/Pump/Skimmer/Sump/Heaters/Extra Pumps would run retail $3,000 at my LFS.

I thought about getting one,but it would take me forever to get it filled with corals,and the rock to fill it with to!

On mine, I just took out both overflows and plugged the holes. I redrilled it with a 1 1/2'' drain, and made my own overflow out of black acrylic.

that's what i was thinking about doing if i got one... Would it be possible to go over one of the old holes with a 1 1/2" hole saw? instead of cutting entirely new holes?

 

[Triggerman77]

Dont think u can do that un less u put a piece in plece to hold the hole saw in place. It can be done just not the easyist

 

[HighlandReef]

The bottoms I am sure are tempered glass guys, they drill them before they temper the glass, only way around it is to drill the back glass unless you can order it without
They temper the bottom for added strength after they drill the holes, I bet if you called them and ordered one you can get 1.5" holes
They will probably charge a little extra but I heard they will allow you to make changes if you order one
I am not upgrading till Jan or feb, wife wants me to wait till after Christmas

This would be my dream tank! about as much as i think i could handle as well :bigsmile:!

 

[wiltzlan]

Here's mine... I got mine from the same place as Seth and had the 2 overflows removed and replaced with one. Works well and is alot less noticeable.

Getting plumbed at the shop

Putting it in at the house

I wish I had room for that, I like the extra Depth (front to back room)

I think it would look great
