Web Guy Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I have glass flaws, does that count? Could become a crack!! I nice bow in small area of the glass on the front near the right. It is blurry and has bubbles in it. You can see a line there as well. Could not be a good thing in the long run. But I have spoke to JBJ and a replacement with hood will be coming. One of my nights lights stopped working after 1 month as well. Link to comment

bryandbx Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 24DX Started Jan 05 Cracked June 05 (in the front left corner from top to bottom) 15+ Gallons on the floor, soaked through the carpet into the living room below. Lost carpet, padding and ceiling fan downstairs. So far so good in the temp tank, but I have to imagine the shock isnt good for the livestock. I'm very lucky the house didnt burn down. I made the huge mistake of leaving the ballast on the floor next to the stand (temporarily while I finish up the new stand). I'm hoping JBJ comes through on the replacement quickly. Link to comment
bkresse Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Nano Cube - 24G Started May 1, 2005 Cracked May 21, 2005 Tank leaked approx. 8 Gallons of water. Wood flooring soaked, water leaked through flooring. Link to comment
sNEIRBO Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 There's GOT to be more than 59 Nano Cube Hobbyists on this forum. PLEASE - we need EVERYONE to vote one way or the other for their Nano Cube so that we get an accurate result! I agree with thebrian also - if you have multiple cubes that have either cracked - or not cracked - report that in your post. We can count them all up manually later and do the math. As of right now, with all the multiples added in (7 extra NOs and 1 extra YES), we're at NO - 59 (81.94%) YES - 13 (18.06%) Thanks for all the reports and posts! Let's keep at it! Link to comment
artarmon42 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 2 cubes for me, 0 cracks. (I voted, but could only put in 1 count ) Link to comment
chrissreef Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Just bought it 5 hrs ago, opened the box and this is what I get? btw - this glass is THIN! 12g Nano Delux, the store swapped it out - I'll stick with AGA/Oceanic tanks in the future... hoping this new tank doesn't crack on me.

Cracked at the back glass pane. Dan PS: I voted saying that my nano cracked but I could not vote for the other option also, saying my cube is NOT cracked. Link to comment
genuck Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 sneirbo, maybe someone is trying to tell you smth... maybe you should go acrylic? Link to comment
sNEIRBO Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 Current numbers - 9:00 PM EDT 06-27-2005 NO Cracks - 69 (88.4%) [9 extra NOs] Yes, Cracked - 18 (11.6%) [1 extra YES] I did NOT count Gamma-Cube as a crack - that was definitely a shipping error! Link to comment
GruntSculpin Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 On reflection, and in the pursuit of real numbers, mine should count as shipping errors as well. Chris Link to comment
