So I set up this 4 tank system on 11/18/2022 and it has been running flawlessly. This morning I beards a crash and discovered the bottom of one of the tanks burst.
Trying to get opinions on why. Want to determine if just a faulty tank, or poor stand construction.
I at first thought it probably had something to do with drilling it, but it did not break at the holes. The bulkheads are still there and the glass around them isn’t cracked or broken.
Looks like it happened at the edge near a corner. Wondering if a defect in the glass, or if it’s possible the stand bowed. It is 2x4 construction supported on all four corners with a vertical 2x4. Tank is 2’x4’x10” tall. I would think 4 corners supported should be sufficient, but guess I’m not sure.
