Center support broke. Junk tank
Just like all the other bad reviews, the center brace broke. I had the tank for a little over a year, I went to feed my fish one morning and noticed one of the supports separated from the tank which made the tank bow out. I drained the water halfway to relieve pressure. Aqueon knows about the problem and all they do is send an automated response. Absolute junk tank!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Two tanks nearly failed separately
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.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Exploding Junk Tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Stay Away! 55 Aqueon Glass Tank
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)
No, I do not recommend this product.

Where the heck can you find a lid Dose any one have the tank and know one I can use I habe a turtle if you need to know
- You need a tank topper vs a lid. Your turtle needs to be able to exit the water and dry off completely to bask. They sell them pre-made, however i built my own because they don't fit the larger tanks in my experience.

Is this the right size for a male and female mud turtle, they only are 4 inches. Thanks in advance.
- Hi! We appreciate you writing to us. You can use a 55g tank as mud turtles do not get very large, however a 75g tank would be much better. If you would like more information, please call our friendly Consumer Care team at 1-888-255-4527.
