Bottom of frag tank burst

[Fishgeek88]

I'm guessing the frame has twisted on you giving two high points of support and two low points of support.

Dimensional lumber is not intrinsically stable, Even after being kiln dried.

You can't tell twist with a level. You'll need to get or make a set of winding sticks to see that.

Agree 100%

I think the biggest problem is that the tanks are inexpensive, and really thin glass. Then I mounted two noo-psyche lights on one side of the tank. Possible the weight and torque may have caused bottom to tweak.

Hung the lights from the ceiling, replaced the tank and haven’t had a problem since.

That seems exactly opposite of what has been said. Never had an aquarium stand that had a solid top until I got a rimless. Especially since with a frame, the glass doesn’t touch a flat surface.

Because I don't agree with what has been said. A standard plastic framed aquarium does not need a full sheet.

Sorry read your comment wrong. I agree with you that it only needs a solid boarder. I read solid surface and thought you meant full surface not just below plastic frame.
