I purchased this 55 gallon tank hoping for the best. However there are vertical chemical streaks all over the inside of the glass. As soon the sides get wet you can see all of these marks. I used multiple different things to try and elimate the lines and nothing works. I find it hard to believe the tank is even safe for my turtle. Very disappointing.

When my second Aqueon 55 gal tank leaked and caused damage, I went to Petco to buy another just to hold me over until I could purchase a reliable product. When I got there they had their Store brand Imagitarium which is made so much better than the Aqueon. The glass is thicker and the silicone on the seams appears to be so much better. It looks like Petco is phasing out Aqueon for obvious reasons. If you search online about Aqueon, so many people have had bad experiences with leaks immediately or shortly after being set up. The only thing that was a bit of a hassle is that the dimensions of the Imagitarium tank is slightly different requiring new covers and extending canister filter hoses because it’s about 3 inches taller. I think this tank is going to last.
