However, most people who buy a fish tank don't turn around and leave a good review. It's expected to hold water, and if it does they think nothing of it and move on with their life, never thinking to leave a review.
Aqueon is a name brand, petco is a major retailer, this is a good deal, there is zero reason for SD to force this deal. It's not like it's some dime a dozen brand names that show up every week (those are the shill posts)
Do a leak test first, if you can
And for people that are newish to the hobby - this is a LOT of weight - keep that in consideration of where you're placing it
(Edit - meaning, ideally this is going to be on the slab, but if it's not, make sure it's being placed perpendicular to the supporting structure, not parallel. You could potentially focus close to a thousand pounds on a single beam, which could make bad things happen)

Tank+water is just under 700 lbs, depending on what you use for substrate, filtration, lighting, stand, and rocks, you're going to be nearing 1000lbs - you need to consider what structure is available to support that weight.
SD is a shell of what it once was, which is actually a shame.

aqueon a budget tank brand so there will be causes of leaks, cracks, etc. always inspect a tank carefully and do a proper leak test before setting it up. this is true for any brand, but especially true for budget brands that use thinner glass and not the highest quality silicone application. If you are savvy enough, bad silicone seals can be fixed and silicone is cheap. The only true problematic issue would be cracks in the glass or bracing.
These tanks use thinner glass and silicone that isn't rated for high water pressure (hence the bracing) so checking for cracks in the glass and bracing are important when you first get the tank and as part of routine maintenance.
yes, it will be HEAVY as others have said. be careful where you put it and how you place it (make sure it's level and not twisted) or you'll be asking for trouble.
If you aren't using it for an aquarium, a lot less to worry about it. Kind of tempted to get one for a terrarium.
