Deja Vu

One tank breaks...bad luck
Two tanks break...ok, they were both nano cubes, but still bad luck.

Three tanks?! WHY ME?!!!!!

About an hour ago my 40 breeder sump cracked. No, it wasn't a little crack, it was completely across the front panel. A few things were on my side, 1) I was home 2) it was my sump and 3) I had a "slave" here to help, but still, THREE TANKS!!!!!

That sucks! Sorry to hear that!

 

[reefboy]

wow three tanks cracking or breaking seems a tad wierd hope you dont live on a fault line.

 

[Kigs!]

Oh man...sorry to hear that Chelsey. Hope you were able to take care of it fast.

Dang, sorry to hear that. I would go with acrylic this time, less likely to crack.

 

[Reef Goddess]

What caused the sump to crack? Was it old, not braced well, not level??

 

[Chelsey]

It was a 40 gallon breeder, less than a year old, and level.

Sorry to hear that, Chelsey. If bad things come in threes, hopefully you're out of the woods (to try to find something remotely positive)...

 

[VanHalen]

dude, that sucks

 

[rackyrane]

That sucks. Are these tanks old or new? Glass or acrylic?

 

[Chelsey]

Tanks were/are glass and less than a year old.

 

[Reef Goddess]

Still strange, tanks just don't crack for no reason. Were they custom or store bought? How thick? Anything around them or above that could have caused stress? Do you have a poltergeist?

 

[Chelsey]

All Glass was the manufacturer of the tanks. There was no rock touching the glass and the tank was level.

 

[VanHalen]

do you have an ac vent blowing directly on them? Maybe there was a sharp change in temperature?

 

[Chelsey]

The AC vent is across the room.
