ALL DEAD!!! ALL DEAD!!! Q>Q As I was getting ready to go back to colledge, checking my fish one last time before I go.. I was totally shocked... my 60G tank is all drained over night with a BIG CRACK.. The powerhead is burning hot.. and the heater blew... I dont know if I can even concentrate in class today... :irked: Althou the paroon shark is still small, I brought this tank for him, he heals up pretty good from the piranha incident and now hes gone.. :( :irked:
I dont think I will ever keep fish again.. Gonna sell everything.. I checked the floor, its almost dried up.. This probably happen 6-7 hours ago.. :(

That tank I believe is a terrarium, not an aquarium!
How thick is that glass?
Looks way to thin for a 65 gallon tank.

He said the tank is for aquarium purpose and can hold water without any problem.. guarantee not to leak for 35 years.. but it got cracked within 2 months. Even if he give me a free replacement.. Toronto to Flinton - VERY FAR... not worth the drive
Yesterday, I saw this 7" BEATEN UP Indo Dat (by a few oscars) that I was suppose to pick it up today, but Im not sure if I want it anymore
His condition is terrible, very thin.. and all injured..I feel sorry for it
Heistating..

Leave him some feed back with pics!
For sure it guaranteed, not to leak for 35 years, if no water is put in it....
If you fill it, you will get your outcome over and over again....
Don't give up, pick up a proper 65 Gallon, and start again..

Before you move your tank,(if you havent already). Double check the tank with a level not just front to back, but all the corner to corners also. Sometimes it only takes the smallest bit of unlevelness to bust out a aquarium.
Sorry, about your loss. I've had the same thing happen to me before.

Damn, that sucks, dude. It sounds like you need to have some words with that guy. It seems that he owes you a lot more than a new tank, too. To be honest, I wouldn't take a new one from him. His product is obviously crap, so I think you should be compensated financially.
I just lost a whole tank, too. It sucks, but don't quit. Think about it for a while before you make that decision.

Probably find a cheap or free tank that size or larger if you go around yard sales enough, and better quality. That guy is a scammer.
