Dang it, a leaker...

....a 20 gal is dribbling a bit....it'll get swapped out this morning....blah...

[Mugwump]

Swapped it out...bottom seal was loose/gone....I popped another 20H in there, looks good...it's a $20 PetCo tank...

Those Tetra tanks bow like a swan's neck, but for the money I don't complain much.

There's a smaller pet chain called Pet Supplies Plus that runs a $/G sale too and they sell Aqueons, but they are franchised. So some are big some are small and they certainly aren't in every strip mall in the country.

There's a pet supplies plus by me and I love them.  During the last $gallon sale they ordered some extra 55g Aqueons for me and held them for me. They have good discounts on other pet supplies too.

nope...it's an Aqueon tank....got it while back when they were the closeouts...

I don't think a 20H would bow much anyway...too short a span....

I heard that Pet Supplies did the sale up to 75 gallons. Not to sure there isn't one close to me. I haven't got a tank from petco since they switched brands.

If you find one up there, let me know..... ....

The 29G's sure do. I cut some glass tops for a couple a while back and measured at the tank ends. The tanks are place with the short end as the viewing panel, so the covers aren't like the conventional versa tops. When I put the glass down on the rim at the back end lowered to the middle, both me and the fish got pretty ticked when the slab of 1/4" glass fell in. They bow a full 1/4" at the middle.

The 20H don't seem to bow. I have two in place.  I have a 40b that is not bowing either but it has a center brace on the bottom. Thankfully I found Pet Supplies Plus before I bought anymore tetra tanks.

Like Jon said, the 20H's are too short to bow much, but every so often I look down the front of those 29G's and just shake my head.

Late to this thread but......came home from a four day trip Monday night, went to check on my fish and the first thing I saw was a big stream of water on the floor. The $10, ten gallon Tetra tank cracked from top to bottom on the front pane of glass. Luckily only about 1/3 of the water had drained out of the tank, no casualties. Whew.

BTW...the tank was on a perfectly level surface and had been running for a little more than a month.

Glad to hear it wasn't worse and your fish survived.  Now I'm worried about the 2 Tetra tanks (20H, 40B) that i have set up.

[LizStreithorst]

Everyone says that those Tetra tanks are garbage.  Thank God you had no losses.

[PaulineMi]

Thanks. What I dreaded seeing was a dead discus laying on the bottom of the tank. He was being bullied and started looking punky so I pulled him, did daily water changes and kept him under observation. He's doing fine, begging for food when he sees me. My stomach turned seeing water on the floor. What a relief seeing him begging when I approached the tank.
