Crack

I have a 100-110 gallon stock tank that is empty if you need to use it for awhile, and I live close.

Dude, that sucks! I'm having a hard time seeing the crack in your pics, is the corner seam pulling apart? Where is the crack at on the tank?

 

[SSTG]

Thanks guys I didnt drain the tank Chad and I took some acrilic and shored up the top and bottom of the crack. I will take a better pic later. It goes from the front of the euro bracing and goes out to the side all the way to the out side panel. I talked to Gary and I will get a answer Monday but for now I will just keep a real close eye on it.

The crack is about 10 inches from the front pane. It is about 7 inches long if your looking at it it is on the laft hand side.

John, sorry to hear about your tank I hope that ART steps up and takes care of you on this very serious problem. BTW, what is the thickness of your acrylic? Could this have been a stress issue?

I have a 150g stock tank of yours that you can have back whenever you want it. I also have room in my 300g stock tank for anything you want/need to house.

It is 3/4 I guess they should have made at least 1 inch Thanks for the offer I may take you up on that.

 

[Nanook]

Just let me know....I have calcium of 450, magnesium of 1350, zero nitrates and not sure on phosphates...I have some stonies in there now that are only a couple days in, so not sure how hospitable it would be until I run some phosphate remover.

My smilie face was supposed to be a sad face...not trying to make fun of your situation.

I didnt even notice, what ever I do I have some corals the size of basket balls that Im going to frag up. It sucks but what do you do.

 

[capncapo]

Sounds like a reason to have another frag swap.

Been thinking about that any way so we might as well get to planning one.

 

[Nanook]

This just sucks!! No other way to say it. I am very sorry to hear this has happened. Let me know if you want to get all the stuff out of the tank to be safe. I am available Monday and Tuesday nights and days this week.

 

[Reefer Wannabe]

John, let me know if you need some help moving stuff.

 

[Markk96]

I can help as well, sorry to hear this.

 

[Chelsey]

Chad and I went to John's today and helped him put an acrylic "patch" where the crack was. It's a temporary fix but hopefully it'll hold until a replacement tank can be found.

 

[logiktest]

Super sux. You have my help if you need it.

 

[Reeferhead]

So, is crack is currently limited to just the eurobracing?

 

[Fade]

It is going down the side panel about 1/8 of an inch.

 

[Fade]

I finaly got my photo bucket to up load some of the side cracks.

Here is a shot where it is located at on the tank.

and the temp fix.
