SONUVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oddball]

I was just about done filling a new 285 gal (52" x 36" x 36"). 3" from the top, the side exploded out. The force was strong enough to move the 240lb steel plate next to it.

Please, someone tell me again how this is a relaxing hobby.

OMG!!!!!!!!!1

Was there a flaw there before? I've never seen that happen!
That sucks man. Will the OEM replace it?

 

[Havey]

Damn man. Thank goodness you weren't standing there. Your knee would have bent the wrong direction...kinda like a Flamingo...but not so pink.

Is that 1/2 inch Acrylic? Kinda looks even thinner.

 

[The Amazonian]

Wow!!! Thats scary!

 

[Oddball]

It's 1/2" acrylic and I was standing right where half the water decided to go. Glad I was filling with warm water. But, it still got a little nipply running back to the house. I kept fronts in it at my last house. It must have sustained some damage during the move.

 

[Deathcurl]

That's a lil much for the acrylic repair kit to handle, hahaha.....Glad you weren't hurt.

 

[davo]

that sucks. its only relaxing when its full and you have some nice healthy fish in it. Ah... the calm before the storm.

 

[Gr8KarmaSF]

[Nic]
