OMG Aquatics Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Your thoughts on how much it can actually hold? The warranty is only 90 days unlike the bigger tanks which has 1 year warranty I believe? So I would assume, 10g tank is lower quality? My dad keeps telling me the tank will break if I fill the tank with 90-95% water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishyd Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 It won't break if you fill it up. It's still the basic, standard rectangle aquarium just like all the others. Same glass just smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHe Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 On the contrary the smaller tank is, the stronger it is. More problem with deeper tank, not shallow ones. Desireenfh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I see. Thanks. Anyone know the lifespan of these tanks? When should I replace them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have one bought new in 96, used it for 1 year, then in storage for like 4 years, then came back to service for 2 years, then back to storage....came up last year again and still hold water like a charm.

OMG Aquatics Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 So people just keep using the tank till it breaks at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyd Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 if it works, why not? and if it's a seal that leaks, those are easy to fix. Joey has a couple vids showing how to reseal a tank. I'd only toss it if the glass cracks. Desireenfh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
