Anyone see a 150DD F/S on LI?

since I am redoing the tank, I have been thinking about upsizing. There is a bunch of LFS's on the island. Anyone see any Marineland 150DD Tanks and stands?

I remember some time back Caribbean blue had a couple deep dim tanks on display. Not sure what they still have as I have not been there in a while.

Mark, I usually keep to myself, but i know you are a good guy, you have a nice collection of corals and you have a nice house so, I suggest looking into another manufacturer. Marineland is not a quality tank. You can search all over the internet and find horror stories about there tanks failing. I am one of the ones that lost a 220 because of poor quality. I lost everything and my house was soaked. There are so many bad marineland stories! Just my opinion of course, but I would look for another tank that you can trust.

Thanks guys. I have seen the horror stories on the 300DD. I haven't seen any on the 150DD. Would make sense that the tanks are popping on the long side.

I know there was a 90 gallon cube out there. Custom is not going to be in my price range. Even having one ordered tends to be a bit more than taking the one off their hands that's been sitting around.

Thanks for the heads up.

Its funny. When you stumble on one sitting around, you can get the tank, stand and canopy for as little as $1999. But to order it, its $2700. I saw a 150H that would look nice where my cube is, but the return is on the wrong side. Too bad, she liked it... I can go "up" by going to a Deep Blue 74 cube.
