I agree. His bottom pane was 5/8", this should have been 3/4" if he was going to put 3 holes in the center of it. I personally think a tank of this size should have full bottom support, perimeter support should be reserved for 75-120g max. He also added horizontal piping off each of his drilled holes creating even more 'uneven' stress on the glass. It's a sad situation but he's made the best of it and is still in the game with his new 120.
What I find strange is that it ran fine for almost 5 months before he had a problem, I would have thought failure would have occured within 2.
