Silicone is fine. The front pane completely cracked, in almost the exact same place as the original busted pane (this is a free CL tank that we rebuilt by replacing the front cracked pane with a sheet of expensive Starphire glass). I strongly suspect that there is some flaw in how the frame or the tank was originally manufactured that has caused it to crack in the same place & same way both times.

Looking for a 180g or tank with 6' x 2' footprint. Couldn't find any on BCA or CL. Going to check Canreef now.

Wow what a kick in the face that was Anthony sorry to hear about it and the livestock and corals back in the water safe and sound. Imagine being a fish and hearing that. Holy crap someone is trying to catch us today again.

OH NO! Anthony that is terrible. I hope you find a tank quickly and get back to feeling better too. And YES, you are so lucky that Irene is such a wonderful wife and willing to help out.

Sorry to hear this Anthony. One of our worse nightmares I guess. Hope your side feels better soon and you find another tank for your fishies.

Soo sorry to hear about the tank. Bu I have to think it's the Stand, not the tank that caused teh crack twice. If you re-siliconed a new front pane on, then any internal stresses tnat may have been in the tank form a mis manufacture should have been eliminated with the new pane placememnt. Thus, leaving the stand to be suspect. Totally go through that stand to make sure it is not twisting under load. That can cause front pane to crack. Would hate to get a 3rd tank up there and happen again

Dan,

It is odd though, as I think it is a new stand.
