    Check to make sure water is not running down the side from the top, I've heard a lot of compaints about the nanos not being seal very well at the top. If it's coming from the bottom get a return, don't wait for it to split, to try to repair it, you'll void warranty. Contact the seller asap!

    Yep. Just by looking at it, tank needs to be replaced ASAP. Go get yourself a 20 gallon long and move everything over to it, as chances are it could take a while to deal with the vendor and/or manufacturer.

    what do you think the manufacturer will say? will he say it was my fault or can i blame it on the silicone? cause the crack is exactly where the silicome job is. UH OH! :cry:

    edit: i mean, i know the manufacturer he made my dad a 1000 dollar tank (sump and everything and shipping included) and his name is eddie. Hes a really nice guy its actually me now. I know he will give me a refund/a new tank but i just feel bad putting him down 400 bones.
