Don't know for sure what happened but I'm pretty sure it was a bulkhead I tightened a little too much. Must have been slowly cracking for months. I had a 90g break on me on once as well. It was set up for over a year, not drilled and suddenly one day the front pane cracked from one corner to the top. Tank and stand were perfectly level so no idea why that one happened either!

No brace?
Is that why it cracked? Quote:

That sucks, thank goodness you had another tank laying around and was able to save everything.

OMG this thread is giving me an anxiety attack. I had the brace crack in my 46g bow, total fluke that I caught it before it blew out and I was able to put a temporary brace across the top while I replaced the tank. I check my tank nightly for any signs of cracking or leaking - definately my biggest fear. Good luck with the clean up.

Well, if it makes anyone feel better, I'm quite sure it was my error not the tank just cracking. The bulkhead is behind the tank and in a place that I have to use a tool to tighten (which of course is not a good idea). I'm quite sure I over tightened it just a little and it cracked over time.
The tank broke 3 days ago and clean up went fine. Had a shop vac and my floors are sealed concrete so water just pooled up on them. If my floors were not concrete the restaurant downstairs would have been pretty ****ed I would imagine!
