Lucky it wasn't full of water. The glass itself may have has an imperfection it it, inclusion, just the right tap and it fractures.....I think any glass company could repair it for you. Might cost more than the tank.

Well since my big tank is on hold for awhile I'm going to build a 90 I had lying
around.

The rock is just piled in there, I started to drill the tank last night. I need to pick up a new hole saw to finish it.

I'm going to use my 400,'s over it and my BM250 is in a ten gallon sump below. I'm not sure how well that's going to work, we shall see.

It's sitting in a ten gallon sump, that's all that will fit under there. I would like to go bigger, but I don't want to waste too much money on a tank that will only be up a year or so.

Well I finally got the 90 gallon up and running today.. It's not much to look at though. Anyone have any frags in a month or so?

90 Gallon
Bare Bottom
BM 250
400 W HQI - Not hung yet.

Heres my weak attempt at aquascaping.. I suck royally at it!

The pillar on the left has to stay.. it's hiding most of my stand pipe.

I'll get my better half to give me a hand with it.. I have no artistic eye what so ever.
