I recall reading about a few now, two of them were under 50 gal (one was a 20) but I am not sure if it was the same kinda stuff.

I think it was caused by the heat generated by the curing epoxy and the expanding glass that shattered those tanks IIRC. I think the big tank that broke belonged to a guy in Winapeg.

that's the one I'm thinkin of.

yes it belonged to Hgtv guy//


Doug did the same thing with his 170 or 90 gal looked really good too...

I think it depends on the type of epoxy, some have higher rates of shrinkage than others when curing.

turned out pretty decent, prob shouldnt have mixed up so much, but w.e. def doing it in my tank.

30Sq. Feet would be the coverage with a very thin layer(like, less than 1/8th inch).

I used something called Envirotex-Lite from Home-Hardware.

I recall one guy's tank broke because before the epoxy was fully cured(it was hard, but still generating some heat), he poured cold tap-water in for a water test and it cracked.
