Tank busted, I'm screwed!

I was filling up my 150 gallon tank with water an vinegar to clean it and well the bottom cracked all the way across the panel. Took me forever to clean up all that water. Not cool. It took me so long to get everything I needed and now this! Darn!:headwally:

Try to see the bright side in the fact that it wasn't full of coral and established live rock.

Sorry to hear about that though :/

Just out of curiosity......

did you not fill it outside first, just to make sure it held water

and what caused the crack


very sorry for the bad day....but anthrax makes a very valid point...

This is true. Yeah i had it full before. It actually housed my snowflake eel for a couple months while I buffed out his tank.

I'm not exactly sure what caused the crack.

Silicon on the front of my 50g started to separate today. Thankfully I spotted shortly after waking up and spent all day replacing the tank, replumbing, and transferring everything back in. So glad it didnt end up on my floor but dang, took about 11 hours start to finish.

If it was an acrylic tank did you have the whole bottom supported?

Sorry to hear about your tank.

It's glass and yes sir, the whole thing was supported. Now to hunt for a new one!
