New Deep blue 75 rimless

[Flashy2003]

I just bought one of these tanks today. But when I got it home and gave it a good look over, I don't think I like it. The bottom trim is cheap, the glass doesn't really look that clear and the overflow is HUGE. It takes up the whole center of the tank. I know a couple of you guys have them. Let me know what you think about my crying. Am I just being to picky?

thirty5 has one and it seems to be a great tank, although i did say the overflow is HUGE

I have one and agree with ur criticisms especially the oversized overflow takes up almost 20% of tank !! That being said for the price it's a pretty dam nice tank !!

My glass is crystal clear, like high def. Except for the scratches.

OK, I gave it another examination. The front part of the overflow is a separate piece. So I think I will cut it a little and make it as flat as possible. That might save me about 1 1/2" 0r 2". The bottom trim I can cover up with the stand. And The tank is in the basement. So maybe the lighting just sucks to see the full potential of the glass. I think i'm going to keep it. I will start a new thread when it starts coming together.

Do these tanks scratch easily?
Because I always seem scratch my tanks with the magnet float cleaner.

Yes they scratch easily. stay away from the mag floats with these.
If you want a magnetic cleaner, get something like the aqueon one, that has a pad for acrylic.
I use a Mr clean magic eraser for the glass, but thats just me. Some people don't agree.

check out thirty5 tank thread, he came up with a pretty cool idea for the center overflow.

The front of the overflow is not 2 pieces. There is a piece that is held on with a couple nuts on the inside! I would not cut the overflow!!!

Yours might be different than mine. Because the front of my overflow is a separate piece from the two sides. It is just held in place by silicone. It has a very small caulk joint on the out side. I was going to leave the sides alone and just shrink the front piece in. The front bow sticks out 2" past the sides. My Oceanic is 5" deep. And the deep blues is 7"
