    I went through the same thing when I bought my 29g Biocube from Marine Depot, after three cracked tanks I finally told them to give me a refund and I went and purchased it locally.

    That's a slick tank. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see the progress.

    thanks, tomorrow Im going to add eggcrate on bottom of the tank, to be extra careful since I dont want to get a crack from too heavy rock work. Adding some fiji pink dead sand, rocks, then start my tank.

    By the way, can I just add eggcrate, or will they be bad for the tank by releasing something to water?

    Just set the eggcrate right in the bottom of the tank. It will be fine.

    hmm...I'm not sure what purpose the eggcrate would serve if it wasn't directly under the rocks. It's only there so the rock doesn't slide.
