    so i dont know if you all remember the 120 with a chip but they ended up getting me a new tank and its been up and running for about 2 months now and last night my and the wife were coming in to shower and eat dinner when i seen the tank lights were off:confused: i looked under the tank and water was pouring from the bottom, i looked inside of the tank and seen the whole bottom was cracked from one side to the other:angry: we hurred up and put every thing in a old 55 i had in the garage, i am going to see if i can put a new piece of glass on the bottom.

    What brand? I would have thought the bottom would have been tempered. (Maybe the glass was extra thick so that's why it wasn't tempered)

    another reason not to buy marineland products. If having all 3 of my stealth heaters either not work or shock me wasn't enough. They make pure garbage in my opinion, works good for a while then it just craps out.



    sorry man that a horrible situation
