120 goes crack!!!!!

hmm. Was there support on the the glass bottom, aside from just the reg, edge supports? I mean were there any supports that went across the underside of the tank?

 

Thank goodness you got home in time!! What a scary thing. And now I'm freaked out because I have a Marineland...

 

I really don't know what brand my 55 is...I got it used. :/ My 29g is made by Tetra.

 

I just spoke to Marineland customer service - as I just ordered their Deep Dimension 150, and they say pre-drilled tanks are not tempered.

 

ya you cant drill tempered glass

 

scary. I hope all your livestock pull through. Sorry for the troubles.

 

You would think, since it is not/cannot be tempered, it would be much thicker glass. Guess not. :/

 

I have heard of some brands of tanks (the petsmarts ones I think) dont use tempered glass on the bottom?? whats with that?

 

if you want to drill a tank you cannot have a tempered bottom. it will shatter if you try. alot of tanks are not tempered bottoms for this reason. any tank you see that has a internal overflow is this way.
There has to be a reason this tank cracked. falling rock, unlevel, something. i doubt it was because it was a marineland tank that this happened. how many people with marineland tanks had them crack? they are one of the main brands for tank manufacturers.

 

I can't believe your 110 was only 3/8" thick on the bottom. My drilled 75 is 3/4" on the bottom.
