A little while ago I was in our LFS and they had this 180gal tank with a cracked bottom sitting on an uneaven metal stand (I bent down to the floor and could see big gaps). I guess someone had bought it, brought it home and began filling it up sitting on the bare stand with no foam underneath. It cracked and started flooding his house right away or overnight...
