    Some rock must have hit that tank glass just the "right way" for it to crack like that .
    karma for your loss, hope you dont' lose any live stock .

    My fish are in the tank now safely. They are darting around and hiding, which i guess is normal if you've just gone through a change of homes in that shrt of time with no warning.
    Im going to just try to keep my chin up and pray that they all make it through. Im just so glad it didnt burst before i could get them out.
    Thank you all for your concern and advice.

    Quick question. I'm going to assume that the tank was glass. Have you checked for a mantis shrimp that may have hitchhiked on a rock? Or do you have any small children in the house?

    I believe the 12 gallon eclipse's are made of acrylic.

    I have a 12g eclipse. I used to keep a few fresh-water fish in it. They're really flimsy and (I believe) would be prone to cracks. Be careful :-/

    It says acrylic on the box, but it also says in small print "some aquariums may be constructed of polystyrene"
    Meaning cheap plastic
    We're gonna SAY its acrylic, BUT were actually gonna throw in some old pop bottles and make most of out tanks:angry:

    Well, just because they were jerks to me when i called the Marineland company and at the store i got it from, im just gonna put the old one in the box and return it another of the stores locations.
    I know, i know, VERY dishonest, but so is selling a crappy product.
    DEFINATELY saving up for a sweet @$$ tank now!;D
