Great lakes or marinland(perfecto) tank

[harleymike]

I've looked at two tanks now. One is at great lakes and one is a marineland which I believe is perfecto.
Any comments on either tank.
The marinland has an overflow which draws top and mid tank.
Both are very close in price.

Thanks guys

I had a Marineland tank. I found the build quality, overall, was very good. Never had any issues. Impartial about that mid level overflow though. I found crap tends to build in there easily so I was cleaning it out constantly. I would highly suggest using the 2 holes in the overflow as both drain lines (research Herbie overflow) and running your return plumbing over the top or get an extra hole drilled in the back for a return line. I just found the stand pipe very loud and the air line all ways got clogged up on it.

+1 on the mid-level overflow being a POS.
