The front panel of my new 90g grow out for my new endli just broke and it flooded the entire house, my little endli is there and I have to catch him in the floor. The room is like a big pond for him lol.
When I woke up this morning I found that some pieces of the brace of the front panel just fell off, making the front bracing in half, I don't know what caused this maybe it was from the glass itself? or it's the manufacturers fault? I don't really know but just when I'm going to get the siphon to drain the tank it broke right in front of me :cry: luckily no one got hurt.

Are you sure that's a manufactured tank? The thickness of that glass is scary thin for a 90 gallon.............and so now you see the result
 
It is an odd looking tank,where is the top and bottom framing?
 
Looks like a pretty tall tank with some thin glass. Probably broke from stress. How long was it running?
 
Looks like he's in the Philippines, I've heard they use scary thin glass there. Looks like 1/4" glass. I never go over 16" in height when I'm building with 1/4".

Sent from my XT907 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
 
look at the center brace in the one pic...its siliconed probably 1/4" away from the edge and cut in an arc it looks like. Not dissing the guy but that tank was probably homemade.

Sorry about your tank brotha, you live and you learn on these things..
 
I didn't made the tank, the manufacturer manager said that a 1/4" thick glass will suffice but now I've seen the result. Flooded our house, and the freaking manager didn't answer all my calls and text when I said the tank's broken. Well I'm back to my old 50g.
