Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / April 2006

Ok, after I read all of the bad post on these I should have known better!!
We purchased a Nano Cube Deluxe 12 gallon  in Nov. 2004.  I didn't have the
time when I got it to set it all up and wasn't ready.  I did however open
the box soon after getting it to make sure it wasn't cracked as I have read
all the bad post.  The inside of the box literally had BLOOD (not paint) all
splatered in the inside!! I sent it back to the company I purchased it from
who sent me another.  I opened that box and it seemed all ok.  Well I
finally needed the tank set up last week for some corals and seahorses.  I
put the water and live sand in and had to run outside for a few minutes.
After coming back in the tank had leaked all over my floor.  After cleaning
the tank out I discovered it looked to be leaking at the back seam.  There
wasn't a crack.  I called JBJ and after a week with numeruous phone calls to
them and trying to work with them only found out they will not do anything
to make this right except SELL me another tank at what they call a
discounted price.  Now I've lost over several hundered dollars between the
tank and stand and not to mention I had a horrible mess to clean up after
the second tank.  I don't want another JBJ nano nightmare.  Sorry so long
but wanted other people to know since this a reef newsgroup not to purchase
one of these!!  They are without a doubt "pieces of junk"!!  Just not a good
company to deal with at all.
