bluesky Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I just started reading your thread today. Very sorry to read about this - probably everyone's worst nightmare. I hope you get back into the hobby when you're ready. Just another thought on a possible cause although maybe not very likely - I have heard of rocks falling over due to fish burrowing, or just slipping over time causing a rock slide. Possibly a rock fell into the glass causing a crack? The rocks are all in its proper formation. They are far from the crack ... So sorry to hear about your loss! As far as how a tank like that can crack after a year and 8 months: - there was stress in the glass and it finally released....not highly likely in this situation - the only new thing was the addition of your Tunze skimmer....did you allow the magnets to come together too hard? this may have stressed the glass and it released when you were not home....where exactly did it crack? These magnets are very strong and hard to control... I am very careful when I use the Tunze cleaner magnets on our glass tank. Take a deep breath and go on with life....we only have a short time here. Regards, nanoskim I think it is because of this reason -> " - there was stress in the glass and it finally released....not highly likely in this situation" I doubt the Tunze magnet caused it because it in the back compartment. my crack is at the front right corner curve from top to bottom.

TheKingInYellow Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Every time I have ever heard of a nano cracking, it's in the radiused glass corners. I'm just not sold on the strength of that tank design. This is not just an RSM issue either. Link to comment
