Just a FYI; here's Oceanic's warranty statement from their website:
IMPORTANT: READ SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
AQUARIUM SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
A proper aquarium stand is essential to the structural integrity of your aquarium. An aquarium stand is to an aquarium as a foundation is to a home. An improperly designed aquarium stand can severely damage your aquarium. The aquarium should be placed on an appropriate stand manufactured by Oceanic Systems, Inc. Furniture or other devices are not suitable aquarium stands due to the weight of a full aquarium. Do not place aquariums on or near electrical appliances such as TVs, stereo units, etc. When moving an aquarium it should be completely empty of all water and gravel. Care must be taken to lift the aquarium from the bottom not from the top frame or the glass center-brace.
OCEANIC SYSTEMS, INC. LIMITED WARRANTY
Oceanic Systems, Inc. warrants this aquarium, to the original purchaser, against glass to glass leaks due to defective sealant and workmanship as follows:
5 YEAR STANDARD WARRANTY
For a period of 5 years from the date of purchase, Oceanic Systems, Inc. will, at its option, either replace or repair the defective aquarium when purchased and used with an appropriate aquarium stand manufactured by Oceanic Systems, Inc.
Lifting or carrying the aquarium by the top frame may cause damage to the molding corner joints and will void all warranties. Drilling holes anywhere in the aquarium or in any other way altering either the aquarium or aquarium stand after their original manufacture by Oceanic Systems, Inc. will void all warranties.
Before contacting your dealer about your potentially leaking aquarium:
Have you checked your canister filter or power filter for leaks?
Do you have separation in the aquarium trim corner joint? (contact Oceanic Customer Service)
Have you recently done a water change and over-filled the aquarium?
Do you have a bubbler or air-stone located in such a place to cause water to bubble over the edge?
Have you water tested with ALL auxiliary equipment removed from the aquarium?
To obtain service under this warranty, you must RETAIN THE ORIGINAL DEALER'S BILL OF SALE FOR BOTH THE AQUARIUM AND THE STAND as evidence of the date of purchase.
