How bad really is it?

[ryanraff]

Yo fish team! Not the news I was hoping for when setting up my tank system. Today was move day for the tank and noticed this crack in the bottom corner. Seeking advice on how salvageable this is before next steps

.

System is Red Sea reefer 350. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to see. I would not risk it.

The fact the crack is going further vertically is a really bad sign. Sorry it happened to you but hopefully someone on here has a tank available to replace it.

Sorry bro. Qt tank in the garage or dumpster. It’s bad. Like really bad.

 

[ryanraff]

Damn. The honesty hurts, but not as bad as a flooded living room. Thank you to everyone who've responded already, really appreciate the responses.

Yea that chip is to the silicone and at bottom of tank no good and it's runs upwards fill and add stuff it will definitely spread. I wouldn't put that inside my house. It might be diffierent if it was at the very top of tank above water line.
What size is the tank?

Maybe some one has a similar size one hanging around

Good reason to buy your dream tank

not sure i can recommend innovative marine either tbh, mainly due to flaws with the stand

 

[Thales]

Fill it with hose water outside and watch the show.

If you do this, please film!

 

[Thales]

And I am so sorry that that happened

 

[gmdcdvm]

Serious bummer. Sorry this happened too.

Which flaws does their stand have?

too many opportunities to make a mistake during assembly, i.e a corner too high, the center braces stick up more than the frame, there was a youtube video showing this I'll have to dig it up. the panel under the aquarium and the leveling pad seem to be the same thickness regardless the size of the aquarium which i disagree with. I tried to circumvent some of these shortfalls but time will tell. This guy had 2 leak:

He also made this statement, so hopefully this was a one off:

you can easily build a perfect stand out of 80/20 with a true surface and max stability, if only we had a tank builder out here? I was buddies with one of miracles builders back in Toronto, he would come over and build it on site
