I came out one morning to find this, luckily I had only lost about a half gallon to a gallon. On the bright side I'm very glad i designed it where i can shut one tank off and not affect the others.

I had that happen more then once. My multi tank systems are plumbed so you can remove a tank by shutting the return ball valve & draining the tank.

I discovered why it happened. When i first built the shelves I only used 1 2x4 in front so after a while it started to sag in the center.

I lowered the water in the tank as much as i could and jacked it up and plut another 2x4 behind the first one for extra support. It helped a lot with the sagging but also made the shelf a little less flat.
This is with the extra 2x4's you can see it doesn't sag now.

After removing the cracked tank i placed a new tank there and found it rocks on the back left and front right corner. Also discovered the back of the tank cracked also:bigeyes: i cannot believe it didn't just explode. I will shim the new tank so it wont happen again. I am so freaking lucky, i've had these guys for a long time now.

Wow! Goes to show how important it is for the tank to be as level as possible.
