I had a loss in my tanks today. 40 breeder cracked all down the back :-(

I'm terrified this is going to happen to me. Do you know what caused this? Any damage to your house?

Sorry man! Any idea what happened?

Looks like it's unbraced. Is the point of the "V" in the center top of the back pane?

Ouch. That sucks
I have had that one time. Years ago. I was lucky, I actually heard it crack from another room and saved the fish.

sorry, that sucks!

Thats a tricky spot for cracking, allignment issue or previous chip may be?

I am always worried about this happening to me, i have a 56 tall which sits on carpet and it is uneven, about 1/4th inch difference on 18 inch side...

Thanks everyonw. No damage.I was trying to move it. It was stuck to my wooden stand. I grabbed the back two corners and pulled reall hard and it split. I had very little water and sand in it when it split.
