tank problem

[amv123]

i noticed today that the top brace on my 100g acrylic is bending upwards. What does this mean and should i be worried?

do ou have a picture of the brace. It might just be the acrylic warping a bit. How thick is the acrylic brace?

 

[amv123]

i say about .5'' ill try to get some pics, is warping a bad problem

Typically no. You would just need ot keep a close eye on the seams to ensure that they are not coming loose. I guess it might imply that you tank doesn't have a lot of outward pressure, that might be a good sign that it is built well, But I'm just stabbing in the dark. haha

[amv123]

Sounds like a black hole has formed in your tank. It happens when toxic gases build up in the substrate, and then are compressed by the weight of the water. You are supposed to stir the sand regularly, but its too late now. You should probably vacate your house, and warn your neighbors, so as to minimize the death toll and avoid other destructive repercussions.
