    I'm running 3X 400W MH and 8X T5 actinics

    Thanks Annick

    Tank is just about 3 years old. But a lot of coral came from my 75G

    Discovered something very frightening last night.

    My tank is euro braced with a coast to coast overflow. The Over flow runs the full width of the tank at one end. Where the overflow wall meets the euro bracing along the back side. The Euro Brace Glass is cracked in 3 spots. This is 5/8th Glass. I can only assume at this point the the tank has settled and the opposite corner is low forcing the overflow wall up. That's a lot of force to crack 5/8th glass. Not really sure how to fix this.

    Wow, 5/8" glass is cracking. That would have me concerned. I'd get the level and measuring tape out.

    No it's 1 piece. Well the length is 1 piece

    I'm gonna have to crawl under the tank tonight to make sure there are no other stress related cracks.

    After further investigation it appears the Overflow wall is lifting the euro brace.

    I wonder what I can get in there to cut it with?
