Hi,
I bought this tank from your company right around the first of the year (Web Order Number: 100339328)
After I got it I discovered that there was a problem with the right hinge that connects the tank to the display:
(This was one of 2 pictures sent in my e-mails with Ryan in your CS dept)
I thought it was just missing a part and no big deal. Ryan in your Customer Service dept did an excellent job getting a hold of JBJ and getting another "part" sent out.
After getting some minor painting done in the room this is going in and building the stand I went to finish this up today only to discover that there is much more damage than I thought.
It turns out I wasn't missing a hinge, I found the sheered off part in the bottom of the tank with the skimmer box and manual.
Upon further examination I found that the entire back plastic piece is cracked from end to end. It must have gotten smacked real hard somewhere along the way.
This is a picture of the "good" hinge and is actually the same picture I sent Ryan in my first e-mail to
You can see the crack on the left along with the circular hole that is broken in the plastic (Wish I would have examined the tank better from the start).
Here are some pictures taken tonight (Notice the time stamp):
Showing the tank how it looks, today is the first chance I've gotten to even try to setup this tank:
A good picture showing the crack and the damaged hinge:
A picture showing the hinge I found in the bottom of the tank:
Is there a way that I can get just the tank replaced? I haven't tried the HQI light, plan to tomorrow but I'm sure that's fine.
Thank You
