Posted	MY WORST NIGHTMARE COMES TRUE
06-02-2007 23:26 by Ste	I have always worried about one of my big tanks splitting , and today it happened . my 6x2x2 cracked half way across the bottom. misses was panicking catching oscars while i was on my way home from work , there was water everywhere. I phoned n&d and they are bringing me a new one friday , now theres service for you.

07-02-2007 07:39 by Linda Chenapa	we have a 90"x30"x24" double based tank , with a crack going across the 30" it,s on the top sheet so we plated over it , it's been like it for 2 years so far so good

07-02-2007 12:31 by wayne	one of 2 reasons you ither didnt have any polystrene under or it wasnt thick enough needs to be at least 1" thick or you unit was really was really uneven , or it maybe2 units your using , or maybe a rock fell?
07-02-2007 12:32 by wayne	or it could be your convicts digging a tunnel? lol
07-02-2007 17:50 by jonie	lol wayne good service, telling me!:o

07-02-2007 19:03 by redtail	o sh*t not good
07-02-2007 19:42 by AndreaC	*** hell what a nightmare. Im seeing alot of posts latley around that tanks are cracking or bursting!
07-02-2007 22:47 by Ste	The tank was perfectly level i checkedit with a spirit level. funny the end that went only had bogwood in it. it had been running for six months , usually if they are uneven they crack over the first couple of days , its a mistery
07-02-2007 22:48 by Ste	I think my oscars were throwing pebbles at each other lol
07-02-2007 23:12 by NikkiC	Sorry to hear about your tank. Mine did the same thing before christmas. I went to Wharf the other day and chatted with Richard and said it was due to not enough polystrene like wayne said make it thick!!
08-02-2007 11:17 by Danny Boy	did you know that one grain of sand under a tank without any padding will crack the tank everytime? thats why its so important t have a good base ie polystyrene or kingspan or a soft timber that can absord any imperfections
08-02-2007 23:02 by Ste	My tanks has soft pine supports under it all of my big ones have ,I ahve had takns off and on for 30years ever since i was a kid and never ever has one split on me.This tank has been running for about 5 months with no problems, then all of a sudden as i said before it just cracked, for no apparent reason
08-02-2007 23:08 by Ste	the main base of the unit it stands on is a 15ft concrete construction cemented to a concrete floor on top of this there are white pine slats at 12inch intervals then there is a 4x2x2 and a 5x2x2 that have been sitting next to the 6x2x2 for five months also.
