NOOO!

Man, that's insane! That's wild that it was all caught on video.

Hopefully they get everything cleaned up and install a new tank soon!

Is that glass? It kind of looks like acrylic, design wise... but acrylic wouldn't do that, right?

At least there weren't any animals in the tank.

It is/was acrylic.

That's acrylic and they do blow out like glass. That tank did not have a wide radius cut in the top. I feel really bad for them. It's an expensive failure to have go through.
