cheapest place to buy 125 gallon

While being level is important I still don't believe the tank arbitrarily broke because of being slightly off level. If anything you would lose a deal first. Glass while brittle has a pretty good tensile strength.

I still feel that this was a pre-exsiting(prior to filling and cracking) condition. Yes there could have been extra stress to a point on the tank glass that caused the crack, but it started from else. A scratch, nick, cut, scrap, etc.. Over the past few years I've moved easily over 50 in and out of my house, not one has busted/cracked due to an uneven placement.

I can promise you this much as much as no one wants to admit the truth, no one here's tank is perfectly level. Every tank has an edge or corner that sees more weight or pressure than the others. It's just the nature of the beast.

Was this setup on carpet or tile?

Don't get rid of you stand unless you just want to. Unless you can physically see a deformation your stand is probably fine.

This tank is setup on the first floor on tile. I checked the stand earlier and the rear pieces of wood that connect from the bottom to the top seem bent and since water got on the corners it got loose. So I'm just going to get a new stand aND tank... I paid 500. For tank, stand, canopy, fx5, eheim2217, 2 Marineland led. I know the fx5 itself is worth quite a bit

At least half your investment is in equipment

Is 499 a good price for tank and stand?

[barrettsline]

Brand new that's not bad.

So you think that even if the floor is just slightly uneven it won't make a difference?

I've had tanks that were a 1/4 off with no issue. Is it good in the long run, no. That why, you shim (like was mentioned by a previous member) to try to get as close as possible. My tank in my dining room has 1/4 shims on side. It's actually not the house either, it's just who ever floated the tile didn't float it right.

Don't take your chance on $499!

Is this normal?

[barrettsline]

Is that your trim? If so no that is not normal.

I think I found the issue. The rear right corner of the stand was higher than the rest of the tank. You can see the tile starting to raise up pretty quickly in the corner. I'm going to find another place to put it. I wonder if I should just keep my stand

Yeah I took off the trim because it was already coming off. It looks like someone really sealed it.

499 is a better piece of mind man.

Wow!!!!! So I just put a wood pole that is straight. I put it on the left side on the tile where the tank was, it stood still. Then I put it on the tile on the side where the tank broke and it started rolling down towards the front!!!! I should have checked this since the beggening!!!!!

Okay, wow. Yeah that would be serious issue. The picture of what happened has become clear. Use the same method to check your other possible spots.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I think I may have found 2 good spots for it. I'm going to get a level later to double check. And going to pick up a new stand with tank just to be on the safe side of the stand. it may seem fine but who knows I'd rather just get it over with.
