AGA is made here by me, a family owned business, well renound when family owned, I think about a year ago they sold out to a larger company that does multiple products for this hobby, so maybe quality control went down. Also I read so many threads on RC when someone was building there own stands if I should have a flat platform or a rimmed platform, well AGA tanks sit just on there perimeter rim, if flat it is not supported correctly, non rimmed tanks sit on a totally flat surface, useally Acrylic tanks. Or here, and I feel sorry for his delema, if it was a rimmed tank and made his own stand for a rim tank, and in the back the area that cracked, maybe that area of the stand sauged and there was no support there causing the crack, glass is a strange material, when verticle stronger then heck, lay it flat and weak as can be, that is why if you see a glass truck, it is verticle on the sides of the truck, But no furgivness, actually glass is a liquid, always in a slow motion, just like you do not have to go from a solid to a liquid, to a gas, I foreget what it is called, to many years from engineering school, but a piece of ice will disipate, to a gas, without ever melting!
