Ugggghhhh I hate JBJ Nano Cube

[Oddomatic]

So, I've been like super excited about setting up my new 28 gallon LED pro JBJ Nano Cube in the coming weeks. I should mention that this tank had to be reshipped several times due to defective lighting, chipped glass and broken plastic canopies, so maybe continuing to punish myself with replacements is my own stupidity. Anyway, so I was fiddling about adjusting one of the pumps in the rear chamber before doing the leak test fill and I found a huge hole in the silicone bead by the rear corner! I can't believe it... JBJ's setups have not brought me much luck at all, so I screamed at the online supplier and after much avail I think in gonna go with a different set up. Innovative Marine makes a Mini 38 which is very similar to the JBJ model. Anyway look at this picture of the seal and give me your thoughts!

Ditch it!

Yeah, my thoughts exactly... I don't even think this is worth doing a leak test on. Even if it passes, i feel like the risk of a future leak is too high...

By the way, I got my AIO Led Cadlights 22g yesterday...What a beautiful tank!

Oh man, I feel for you. Get rid of it. That's a lousy job on the silicone and just the fact that you've been having many problems with it and it's not even setup gives me a bad vibe.

You ain't kidding, lol. I sent that sucker back faster than lightning. My 22 gallon Cadlights replacement choice, looks like a surgeon crafted it compared to quality of any of the JBJ cubes I owned! JBJ? Never again!
