    Small crack - should I be worried? (Photos)

    I just got a second hand tank and now that I have it home and am giving it a good clean I have noticed a time crack in the top corner above the waterline. I have attached some photos (ignore grime). How concerned should I be? It's pretty tiny, has to only be a few millimetres in size.

    JBJ 65 Rimless AIO Glass Thickness

    I recently got a jbj rimless 65 gallon aio aquarium and found out that the glass thickness is 10mm. Is this glass thick enough or is it dangerous ?

    JBJ 65 AIO vs IM Nuvo 40 AIO

    I am debating between a jbj 65 rimless flat panel and an Innovative marine Nuvo 40 long which both are the same price and come with a stand. I don’t mind the aio and the fact that I don’t have a sump in either system. However, I read that some jbj aquariums glass have cracked in the past...

    EMERGENCY HAIR LINE CRACK IN 60g CUBE

    How long do I have before my tank burst? I just went out and purchased a 75g lagoon tank to avoid the same thing from happening with pressure build up in taller tanks. I’m disappointed due to the amount of funds I purchased the tank for and it’s cracking already. I guess it’s one of those...

    Bubble/crack in glass tank?

    I just noticed this today. I didn't bang anything on the glass. I can't feel any imperfections on the outside or inside of the tank. It's about 25% up from the bottom of my 210 gallon tank so I'm a bit worried. Do I need to replace the tank?

    I messed up… (Cracked tank while drilling.)

    While drilling my 90g to put in an overflow, the drilled kicked, I put too much pressure and this was the end result… Is it worth it to just replace the panel? Great first post

    Help - Cracked Red Sea Reefer 250 ATO Reservoir While Drilling. Can I use Silicone to fix it?

    I was drilling my Red Sea Reefer 250's ATO reservoir to convert it into a refugium. Well, drilling didn't go to plan and I cracked the tank (see pictures). I'm wondering if I can seal the crack with silicone. My thought is the reservoir is only 2 gallons, so there's not a lot of pressure from...

    Chipped corner how to repair

    Hi all. I recently purchased a used blue marine reef 200 but the sump has a chipped corner. It holds water just fine tested it for a couple of days and no leaks but I like to reinforce it just to be safe. What would be the best way to do this, any suggestions?

    Is this tank doomed (cracked, with pics)?

    I drilled my 75 and when I screwed the bulkhead on and I heard some weird grinding noises. Took it off and noticed some cracks in it. One is an actual crack, the other is a large chip near the edge of the hole. I assume it would be dumb to actually use this and I should get a new tank? The...

    Self leveling mat?

    Hey guys. Getting a new biocube after my old 32 led cracked on me. Do I need to use a self leveling mat or are they not worth the money? Not really sure why the old one cracked and I’m trying to prevent it from happening again.

    Nano Build Cracked Nuvo Fusion 30L

    Like the title says, I was cleaning an older Nuvo Fusion 30 gallon long, and I bumped the corner and heard a crunch. At first, I didn't notice anything, but later I noticed the crack in the corner (pictured below). I filled it with water and it doesn't leak at all, but my worry is that I'll wake...

    Hey everyone! Usually I don’t post on here unless I really need help with tank related issues. But today I’ve decided to post something different. I was having an awesome day today until I came home today and noticed a huge crack in my Waterbox 20. Can’t lie, I’m a little grateful seeing as it...

    How long do glass aquariums last....

    How long do glass aquarium last before you proactively take them out of service or replace them to avoid a catastrophy or leak? Obviously, there are levels of quality that could affect this number. So perhaps a high/low answer? Anyone with real experience? Any manufacturers with tested and...

    Did I break my tank ( first time drilling)

    Hello, So I just drilled my first glass tank. I'm pretty sure I did not break it after further investigation, but hopefully some internet confirmation will put me at ease for sure. So to start with the problem or what I thought was the problem is that I had the back painted with latex paint...
