Nee Tank Question

[Davehla]

Hi all,
I just received a new tank and I see two issues with the glass. Am I being too picky?

1. The sides of glass are bubbling , see pic 1.
2. The glass is not cut/glued perfectly straight, picn2

Thoughts? I have not filled it and have only paid a deposit. Should I send it back? Am I being too picky?

Guessing you had it custom made? I wouldn't except if that was the case.

What's the worst that could happen? Maybe tank separation? That's not a big deal right?

Is the glass actually not square or level or is it just the silicon not being even. If the glass was not siliconed straight I wouldn't put water in it.

Lol Kersaw.

This is a custom build and the glass isn't cut straight.

Has anyone seen this before? Is it normal? Should I return it? Help please!

I wouldn't take a tank with bad glass cuts, that's for sure. Have the maker rework it.

Now is the only chance you have to make it right. Don't accept it

If your in doubt, send it back. Better now than at 3:00am waking up to a loud noise and finding your tank water and livestock on your floor!:eek: It should be square or the pressure on the tank will cause it to rupture or leak eventually;)

The glass doesn't look like it was milled at all, just scored and snapped. For a custom tank I would be outraged that they left the raw edge.

Vendor?

Looks sketchy to me...don't use it

Manufacturer agreed to give me a whole new tank. Thank you for all your suggestions!
