[phi delt reefer]

did you ever find out why the base cracked?

edit;

no that i have looked at the pic again i think i know why.

I have read that a tank that has that black rim should be placed on a flat SOLID surface, not a soft surface like that foam. Only tanks that are trim-less should be on foam (acrylic or glass). Maybe someone else can chime in this.

Great resurrection though - congrats on the successful rebuild.
