Sully's Reef - 36 gal Bowfront Reef Build

[CBonito]

That's alright, everyone blows a tank in their career at some point. I've done it too.
It's definitely an eye opener!

Sorry to hear this! My dad just set up this tank for his self and I was afraid something like this would happen to his as I’ve heard bow fronts can be weaker than a normal square tank. Any plans for a new tank?

I am picking up a new Tideline 48x24 internal reef tank. I think it is 104 gallons without the sump. It will be a whole new adventure. Interesting you mention that about bow fronts. The leak was bottom left corner where curve glass meets flat. This area would have been the highest head pressure are of the entire tank.

Picked up the new Tideline tank today. Wow! This tank is so much larger than I was visualizing! I am researching plumbing now. So many different things to learn fast. My first "big boy" tank!
