This is nothing that has happend to me, but but came darn close one time. I am curious if it has happend to other and if they have pictures. Has anyone out there had a tank blow out. I dont mean a little leak. I mean a full on glass shattering blow out, like you may have seen in the movie Deuce Bigalow. I was setting up a tank a few months ago and while I was adjusting some rocks I put my arm on the top center brace and broke it. The tank spread apart about 2 inchs. I put my body against one side and grabbed the other side and pulled it back together and yelled for my friend to grab a hose so I could drain the tank. A believe if I didnt pull in together it would have blown out. Post pics if this has happend to you.
 
I had an acrylic 220 in my garage I was resealing. Got it filled to the top, let it sit one minute and a side seem expolded. A waterfall 2 feet wide was spraying out the side. Flooded my garage and also went through the walls into my house and flooded the kids rooms :/
