Everything goes smoothly until this Friday (25/5/12).
We run freshwater testing and then the tank crash at the bottom.
Don't want to throw any mistake to tank maker or tank stand builder.
We then took the tank out to replace the bottom panel.
Next week the journey will go on.

Hello chingchai...
The setup is coming up just beautifully and can see from the planning its destined for greatness...
As always the stand looks so very innovative with all the slider doors on the cabinet sump section...hoping you will explain to us what they are for in due time
The plumbing looks very unique in design...and does give an insight on the aquascape...
Gosh seeing the tank crack like that sent shivers through me....very scary.....
What do you think was the cause?
Did it happen when the tank was full of water? It couldnt take the load?
What thinkness is the base glass?
An uneven base? Are you using styrofoam underneath?
Improper levelling?
Hoping you will give us some insight so we can learn.
Sorry for too many questions....
Good luck and waiting eagerly to see the tank coming up...
Happy Reefing!!

Hi Ching, nice project as usual.
Sad to see the tank has cracked but i think was happens due to the weight of the overflow pipes, maybe they make a flection moment that load the bulkheads connection.
It's only a opinion, and i suggest to put a rod to help distribute the overflow weight.

Sliding door is for placing drink and snack while enjoy viewing the tank.
The cause of the tank breaking maybe any case you did mention.
I don't have much time to check when they install the tank.
But it cracked at the bottom after we fill up with freshwater for around 10 hours.

That would be possible.
