I find it interesting that everyone on RC is bashing the manufacturer warranty when their warranty is quite standard. Most tank manufacturers will not warranty a tank the is put on a stand not built by the manufacturer. However, it looks like a manufacturing defect because that front panel essentially dropped right off the front of the tank in one fell swoop. I'm not a tank manufacturer, but it looks like the silicone skinned over before they got that panel in place.

Reminds me of a 190 gallon Fresh Water tank that had a catastrophic failure here in town 9 years ago it was determined that the stand which was bought from the manufacturer was defective however it took the fellow 2 years of legal wrangling to get the manufacturer to admit it was a defect. In the settlement he got financial compensation and a brand new tank and stand free of charge from the manufacturer.
In the mean time insurance covered most of the damage but it put a huge strain on his relationship with his GF at the time fortunately they mended fences and had a great wedding 4 yrs ago and now they have two 160 gallon FW tanks and 3 kids and way too many dogs.

Yah saw that one too; the way he wrote everything, you can literally feel what he was going through. I felt really bad for him. Acrylic tanks are more prone to breaking that glass tanks but accident (or in some cases, manufacturers defect) can happen.
