CR@P!!!!! Newly set up 220g sw reef cracked tonight!!!!!

Good luck with everything, I can not imagine what it's like to have a tank crack like that.. I'll bet it's the tank and that all the glass pieces are not square on all sides. I would take it apart and check every part just out of curiosity and if it is the bottom pane of glass have it cut narrower or get a new piece that is narrower and get a new front pane. some times when they cut thick panes of glass the end will run in ward and that is what I suspect happened to that tank the last little piece ran toward the center and is not that noticeable and was missed at the manufacturers. If I were there I would get it off you as I would like a 6 foot tank that is what my stand is built for anyways. I over build things my self..

Anyways good luck.

Sorry to hear about the tank Anthony, that really bites the big one! Hope you get it all worked out soon.

o Anthony thats awful! i just saw this tank last week and it was so nice! at least your wife's game to try again!!!

[Myka]

Oh no!! I would be suspecting the stand. It sounds like the tank is twisting in order to produce that corner to corner crack. I wouldn't put another tank on that stand.

Sorry to hear this Anthony! Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

I don't think it's the stand....... I think it's the tank.

He got the tank for free because the previous owner had the front panel crack on him.

He replaced it with a new panel of Starphire glass and put it on a new very highly engineered stand and it cracked in the exact same way and area.

Like Anthony said....... no need to risk it a 3rd time. Time for this tank to become a reptile tank.

Cheers,
