Well long story short I have had my 38 gallon tank for 10 years now, 5 as a fresh and 5 as a reef tank. And for some reason probably my OCD I now fear its going to explode :facepalm:
Everything seems good on it accept the rim around the top is kind of loos on the front, like it bends easily if I put my fingernail under it, but it has been like that for at least the 5 years I have had it setup as a reef tank. The tank is also a bit uneven. The water on the left side is about a half inch higher on the left side (I set this tank up before I new that you need to level your tanks) I do though keep the water an inch or so under the rim to prevent fish from jumping so easily. But again its been setup for 5 years without issue. So I guess my question is do tanks ever just explode out of nowhere?
The real problem is my lights have been running for longer then 6 months so im due to buy new bulbs for a $100 so im trying to decide to stick with the 38 or go something new like a biocube.
