    Well it wouldn't like a long crack. It was more like the stress cracks into a million pieces. Then it all shattered in the middle about a second later. The rest went out from there.

    lmao. Nah he just came home. He does feel bad, but it was a stretch to buy this tank back in Feb. Money has gotten worse since then. He sad maybe "later on' we could buy a new 75. I will probably just work on my 29 and sell the extra stuff I have.

    90 lbs of sugar fine sand...not sure what else I have.

    I'm thinking the same because of the large pieces he said was left,if it was tempered it should have busted in a million pieces.But that don't make it suck any less.:(

    Very true that still sucks :(

    I still have my 3 sided tank setting in my garage from when the movers cracked mine.

    Thanks everyone. I think I will be doing the 29g as a reef now.

    I have a 55g tank too, but that needs to be completely re-siliconed(inside only). When it is done I guess someone can buy it of they want.

    Hmm...maybe I could take the frame from the tank and take out the front panel.

    Actually, Leighton, I don't want to bother with this tank any more.

    Is there a way I can recycle the tank or something? I don't know what to do with it and I don't want it.
