Not sure on age because it was used but judging from rim plastic style and size "110 wide" I would say its a great lakes aquarium tank.

It's not the thick style glass either.

AND now my power is out.

My poor fish just can't catch a break.

i do not normally worry about tanks being perfectly level.the stands and tanks do have a little flexibility..not much but a little..
this is kind of a crappy pic but the stands on the left and the one at the far end are not quite level..the side stand hold 40 longs and the far one holds a 135 and a 125....

So sorry about your tank. I had a 220 blow out a seam, lucky I was there when it happened. A friend and i resealed it and it's been running great for a year now.  I happen to be looking for some plants for that tank and would like to give any you don't have space for a new home.

I had the same thing happen with my 200 gallon reef tank, I lost thousands of $. I took a 3 year break with no tanks and here I am again with another glass tank. I was leary at first but I have had hundreds of glass tanks and only 1 failed. Best of luck on getting set back up.
I don't try anything, I just do it.

Power was out till 5 pm, canister failed and emptied half the tank into a tote that the filter was in. Filled it back up but the water was cold, fish are faded and unhappy.


Btw I had a qt tank actually crack in half a few months ago. I have the worst luck
