Anyone have experience with one of the pre-made RDS tanks? They are constructed of .90 5052 rather than .125 5052 which was one of the only differences I noted. Thanks for any insight...

I just made a new tank, I went with .125 due to the cost of materials only being $25 more when I bought the aluminum. The original 70 gallon tank I had pulled out of mine was .090 5052, it was 30 years old. If it weren’t for the foam around the tank getting water logged and holding moisture up against it causing pitting it would have went back in.
