Cutting acrylic is probably much easier than glass

i can probably try that. and try to make a sump out of whats left.

most likely popped due to filling on the grass

agreed, that sucks. there is just no way that the grass is perfectly flat. with all the weighed im sure it tried to flex a bit and POP.

how full did you get it before that happened?

also if you dont mind, how big was it and how much had you spent on it? looks 60-ish to me?

i got it about 2 inches from the top before it poped.

and it was a 125-135 dimensions were 60x18x24.

ah, thats alot of water. sucks you didn't happen to be videoing it. i bet it was an impressive, yet heart dropping site.

OMG... ATLEAST it happen during ur test fill and not after u got it setup and running!! THAT SUCKS!!

That's pretty much what I was about to post, thanks

Sorry to read about the tank

Hope this lesson wasn't too expensive for that 100g acrylic...
I'd get some "WELDON #16" and turn it into a sump...
