Slave to the reef!
I was in my garage cleaning up a 30 gallon to use for a sump for my new 90 gallon setup. I heard this loud pop, then another, i thought that maybe it was the stand for the 90 gallon, nope it was the 90 gallon cracking. It cracked right where i had drilled it. Apparently the sun heatup the back pane of glass cause it was painted black. Now im bummin.......

Anyone have a 90 gallon for sale?

I got a sweet stand and light but now i have no tank....looks like i should have used the overflow i bought after all.
 
Man that sucks!

That guy moving to mexico has a 120 for sale. Wouldn't that fit on your 90 stand? Might have to make it a little wider though.
 
Well i got the tank for free and it might be fixable. Im prolly gonna just replace the back panel and see what happens. Mind you, this will be a basement only tank, if it blows atleast it will be on cement in the basement.

Good thing Jasons got a 75 with the same footprint laying around.....
 
Like someone mentioned eariler, glade is happened know, because if it popped now, it had a stress crack already there. It was only a matter of time. Soundsl like a great opportunty to just go out and buy a new 90 already drilled and take the manufactures warranty.
 
sure......sure......I build the guy a stand.......then when he hears things crack he blames the stand FIRST......then I gotta get him a tank.......your starting to get worse at demanding things than my wife.
 
no no no, the stand was sitting funny cause my floor is uneven, that stand will hold elephants, i just thought it shimmied a little, sorry for the misunderstanding. Hell first i thought a bird hit my garage....i dint know ***.

And in Sashas defense, who wanted the who was whinning about their mountin dew when you building my stand?

;)


Thanks for the hookup with the tank man. Emporium wanted 340 for tank only.....what a deal huh?

At least yours cracked when dry. You can refer back to one of my earlier posts and reas about my 75 flooding a newly finished basement. Im only now just getting a new pannel put back on it. I know just how it feels. Its enough to make a grown man cry.

that seem way cheap. make sure they quoted you the right thickness. most shops thicked glass instock is 1/4 inch and a 90gallon should be 3/8inch. have them swipe/seam the edges. if you want it drilled they can do it for you
