I think I have a problem. Along the seams where the front meets the sides it looks like shiny hairline cracks or crystallization. I think my tank is going to blow or am I freaking out!
 
Sometimes the silicone looks like that.

Is it glass or acrylic ?
If acrylic it is just spiderwebbing whci may lead to a blow out one day.
 
I think it is. They first appeared last night and now worse today. Almost like it's seperating and the cracks/bubbles/whatever seem twice as much today as last night when I first noticed. It's all up and down both sides that stand out big time when you glance over. It is acrylic.
 
I don't know DOC, I'd Err on the safe side and prepair for the worst. Maybe set up something for the just in case. I hope that the worst doent's happen and it's nothing, I'd hate to hear you lose everthing, you have a really nice set up.

On a lighter note......The Redneck in me is screamming " Grabs the 1000 MPH tape ( That's Duck Tape for you non-redneckers) and tape up that crack/side of the tank. Trust me I've gots lots of Redneckin' in me that there duck tape will hold'er, aint nothin U cant be fix'in wit dis stuff. Makes sure U tape from da side to side like an din go ups an downs like makin'er all nice an smooth likes one of dim der cadilacks run...real smooth like.

This is the Mrs....
A brief moment of silence for our credit card is now in order. :sad1:

:lol: GO BIG OR GO HOME!! TWP had a really nice 120g tall and a really nice 180 or 200g ish tank up there last week....I would get a slightly larger tank Mrs. DBC to allow corals to grow and to get a few fish that "you" like!

Dave;)
 
PLUS, your sump should never exceed your display tank in gallonage...that is just embarrassing...if you don't believe me, have a few tequila shots and then chase them down with some beers and come back and tell me I'm right!

I can even get Mrs. Nook to back me up if you need it! Something that has NEVER happened in my five years of RC!!

dave:D
 
Hey Doc, I've got a 55G tank sitting on the floor doing nothing, this was my sump on my 90G before the storm. Should you need it for the UH HO! I'd be more than happy to let you use it until you bought a new tank to set up.
