New tank new crack.

I won't fill up the tank sitting on the stand you have. Even a perfect tank may split a seam or the glass panels fracture.

The stand has no center support; you can already see a slight sag in the center.

The pink foam is also too stiff for a flat bottom tank. I would guess the pressure of the tank bottom on the stand is less than 1.5lbs/sq-inch. I tested the pink foam and that needs > 25lbs/inch just to make a small dent in it. The blue foam isn't much better at 15lbs/inch.

You guys have it wrong with the full tank pic, its not 150g full tank pic, its 35g on its stand.

Guys I have shown you guys pics of two tanks. The full tank shot is of 35g that is having its water changes. And its not pink foam under it. It has my clown knife that I want to get rid off. I originally bought them to put in 150g but I didnt.

The 3 pics which shows glass cracked are of 150g. Its made from 12mm float glass. If you click one of these 3 pics you can see it written on it.
