Long story short: My 7 month old Solana 34g. cube tank seam failed the other night. It happened right in front of me and was able to try and hold it together and had someone draining the water as it cascaded down the back. Today I'm starting a replacement 40 breeder and all my corals are crammed in my Fluval Edge 6 gallon.
I've been trying to figure why it happened and the only thing that stands out is the evening of the seam failing I'd been using the nutrient transport mode of my 2 MP10 pumps. They were around 50% of flow and had been on that phase for about 3 hours. I've never turned them above the 50% and thought the tank should be ok from what I've read.
I'd like to know if anyone can do a repair of the seam and would that be advisable at this point. Hate to just trash the tank, but after the shock of dealing with this mess I'm needing suggestions. So, if anyone can advise me of the cost of having it repaired or better to walk away or use it as a terrarium???
