I have had two Aqueon tanks fail due to poor construction. One leaked after a routine water change. The other nearly disassembled itself after the center brace failed. Both instances nearly caused tremendous water damage to my house. Stay away from Aqueon at all costs. I do not trust this company to make safe products. It is not worth the hassle of potentially flooding your home with hundreds of gallons of water. I have pictures but this website’s link to post pictures is conveniently broken.

I bought this for my pet fish, it was cracked when it arrived. They did not give a refund.

Center support broke, tank bowed and needed to be replaced.

These tanks are junk! Center brace cracked in about a year. I did not know it was to hold tank glass from bowing out! It was so flimsy, thin plastic I just thought it was for supporting my two covers! Tank then exploded at night and I lost a thousand dollars worth of fish! All over a 125 dollar tank that turned out to be absolute garbage.

Purchased on sale from Petco 9-14-2023 I have been keeping freshwater and marine aquariums for 50 years I never had a tank failure but this tank didnt even last 2 years. 55 GALLONS. I should have known better buying this tank. Thin glass and thin plastic frame made me wonder about my selection. However I thought well, this is Aqueon! Known for quality right? WRONG. Also I was buying it in Petco, I mean, I like and trust Petco. They wouldnt sell a bad product would they? Well ... I am about about to go to the store now and show these photos. Also YES, I have my receipt. Last evening, something looked funny about the tank, I look at it and the center brace for the top frame fractured completely!. I swear the glass seemed to be bowing out 1/2 inch to 3/4's (see photos) Instantly concerned, after th shock of seeing this my wife and I lowered the water level relieving the stress to the point that the tank stopped bowing. We were so concerned about a complete failure in our new home with very expensive flooring. Never again Aqueon and I expect some type of compensation on the purchase price because I will never trust your product again. (just look at the photos if the site lets me post them)

bought it online and picked it up at store, corners arent square and silicone is already cloudy with bubbles in the seams, and the bottom was cracked, but covered with the rebate paperwork

This is my second 55-gallon tank to fail. The first, the silicone failed, causing a slow leak, which damaged my hardwood floor before I noticed this was happening. I thought the water was evaporating. I purchased another one about a year ago, and this one, the bar that runs across the top in the middle, the plastic is failing, causing the glass to bow out. I now have a clamp on it to prevent the glass from breaking from the pressure of the water. When I went to Petco, they said it has a 90-day warranty. This is obviously a manufacturing defect, and I have seen another post with the same problem. This is very frustrating as I now have to purchase another tank, NOT Aqueon, and transfer my fish before the whole tank fails and dumps 55 gallons of water on my floor.

I JUST PURCHASED A SUPPOSED TO BE 55 GALLON AQUEON FISH TANK WHEN I GET HONE AND MEASURE IT, IT COMES OUT TO BE A 52 GALLON.. I will be contacting them early tomorrow morning.! PLEASE MEASURE YOUR TANK PPL BEFORE BUYING!!!
