Just discovered a fracture in my 2 day old 108 gal. tank,,,,,,,just had it up and running,,,,,,i am F *****G pissed,,,,had to drain and disassemble everything,,,its going back to the store,,,,a new one is on order,,,,,,now i have to wait AGAIN !!
Are you positive that the fracture was there when you got it?
Or asked a differant way; are you sure that it was not there before you added water and it appeared after water was added?
My reason for asking this is that minor "unlevel" issues in stands can cause this and I would hate to see it happen a second time with your replacment tank.
