    You need to contact the vendor immediately...and next time, if there is visible damage don't accept delivery.

    inside the petsolution.com box, there is a tank box by current
    [​IMG]

    now heres the original solana box
    [​IMG]

    Inside, if you look at the middle chamber at back, you can see a crack already before I even touched the tank
    [​IMG]

    Heres a focused crack 1st crack
    [​IMG]

    If you look closley, the 1st crack, goes all the way down to the tank.
    [​IMG]

    2nd crack on 3rd chamber, around 3? inches big

    3rd crack is in the 3rd chamber as well, but it sits under the water pump, and i tried to take it, but too far for my camera to catch the crack

    but anyway, this ones the 2nd crack
    [​IMG]

    Skimmer part with a crack
    [​IMG]

    Skimmer cylinder? not glues all the way in, bearly intact
    [​IMG]

    Random plastic part I found broken. I dont know where this goes

    Glass experts, what glass do you think this is. It looks pretty green, but vendors say this is low-iron glass

    There are different levels of low iron glass. Can you see the bottom of tank when you look through the glass? Looking at the photos, I wouldn't call it starfire.

    That looks like a mixture of poor shipping and craftsmanship.

    You did right with the unboxing photos,theres your proof.I deal with petsolutions somewhat often,i'm sure they'll make it right and take it up with the shipper,but that don't make it suck any less.Sorry to see that.

    just contacted them again, the new customer service guy said he will ship it on monday, while the yesterdays lady didnt really confirm anything. It will be here upcoming friday.
    I asked them to put fragile sign on the box, but he said, UPS dont really care about fragile signs on the box lol, forgot where I heard that at though..
