I've always asked people how they can put a frameless tank on those Marineland stands when all the "other" frameless tank manufacturers states that the bottom needs to be cushioned.

Yes this is the marine land 60 gallon, i still have my 150g tank so I'm going to just stick with that for awhile. not sure if ill ever be ready to do a cube again after this. My dog might be more upset than i am, he spends his whole day watching the fish and he was very confused why his new fish tank was outside.
Might not be the best instance.
Sorry to hear about it for learning purpose a question would it make a difference if we place the tank on some kind of mat
This is a little scary...I have that same setup. It's been up a while and no issues yet. As someone else stated, this may be an isolated incident having to do with overtightened bulkheads or some other unique issue. At least that's what I'm telling myself...or maybe this tank is a disaster waiting to happen and I need to get a much larger tank immediately...
I can tell you i won't be doing something like that again ha-haI've always asked people how they can put a frameless tank on those Marineland stands when all the "other" frameless tank manufacturers states that the bottom needs to be cushioned.
yeah i only had a little bit of spillage, the sump was the same size as the crack so it mostly just went back into the tank via the return pump.Holy cow! That is terrible, but it sounds like you had some luck with any damage to the room.
nothing died from that ??? thats very good luckThat sucks and I can feel your pain, stress and anger. I had metal halides pendants that on two separate occasions fell into my 125 gallon reef tank. Fortunately, nothing died, no fires just damaged halide bulbs and cracked glass protective shields! Are you going to get another tank?
thank you! the snail did live though he is happily cleaning my 150 now hahaSorry to hear this happened to a fellow Tucsonan! At least you didn't lose any livestock aside from the one snail. Your 150 looks great by the way. I wish nothing but the best for you in the future!
Was that a marineland stand?I had a similar experience Saturday night, we heard a cracking noise and then 10 minutes later the water started coming out but my 60 gallon cube was on plywood on same stand. now I'm Leary of what to put new one on, at least I was home to clean it up
Very sad. Sorry to hear this happened.
I saw the crack on one of the pics and it looks like it goes up towards the bulkheads which means they were over tightened.
Just to put a light on what may have caused it.
