![]() Got to wake up this morning to my girlfriend telling me I should do something with my powerhead as its sucking air.
Once I get downstairs start thinking about things, I realize hmmm that should never happen. Where did the 10 gal. of water go??? Upon further inspection I found that my back glass had cracked from top to bottom. Good news is I was able to save.pretty much everything in the tank. (Thankfully) Some days this hobby just makes you pull your hair out :banghead: Last edited by crehman; 06-26-2012 at 10:04 PM. |

![]() That sucks. Sorry to hear.
Do you know what may have caused the crack? I'm paranoid of this as well. Did you stand twist? |
