Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I think I'm going to lose the tank, I just realized this, it seems to be a crack, and it's on the inside, on the outside you can't feel anything, but on the inside you can, should I sell everything before the tank is completely damaged?

Maybe it's just a scratch?

Oh jeez Luis, I don’t know what to tell you but I would think if it’s not all the way trough you have plenty of time. I hope someone who experienced the same thing jumps on and tells you it’s fine. For more opinions make a post on the forum. Sooooo sorry.

Is it a scratch?
 
@luis angel it seems it goes up to the top ? You can see how deep it is on the edge ? With a flashlight or something.
It doesn't reach all the way to the top, It stays about 2 inches away
 
Good morning y'all!
Good morning Wes, now that’s a happy baby! Hey Wes, I was thinking about you when I heard this administration is considering distributing 5k to couples for having a baby. I know it’s to late for your first 10 but if you and your wife have another 10 you would be looking at 50k!

I hope not. you're doing such a good job. due to reflection off the glass, try holding up a black board right behind the camera for a picture to reduce reflection. might be able to hold the black magnetic scraper inside the tank against that crack to try and get a picture too for us. I see the line but no depth for us.
 
But how? I made some marks with a marker now to see if it spreads. The only thing I saw in that area eating nori was a trochus
did you try and clean the glass or wipe it now? just to make sure its not a line from slime etc???
 
Yes, I already tried, my nail gets stuck there.
and not acrylic? like a urchin did it? is that where you keep the Nori feeder? not playing name game but perhaps someone "little" pulled the nori theater down towards the bottom of the glass and a grain of sand was behind it? which would better knowing than a crack. but would think a crack would go straight to end and not stop 2" away.
