It should be, this isn't the evil empier (reef centeral).

Is the tank leaking? Can you get a better picture?

 

[Scarfish]

the tank is NOT leaking - I believe the crack is in the middle of the thickness of the glass

I've taken a bunch of pix, but it's kinda hard to get a good clear shot. I'll try to take more today

 

[Scarfish]

these pix are bad, I know, but...

They were taken when I shut the return line off - crack above surface

any idea how it got there?

Is it that whole hazy area, about 1" square, 1/2" down from the rim? That's a wierd crack. I guess it started from the end of the pane?

That will eventually crack all the way through. ( Sorry for the bad news.) Don't know of any way to fix that. New tank time?

 

[Scarfish]

No idea how it got there. And not sure how long it's been there. I just recently moved a powerhead that may have been blocking it.

Here's another pic of the weird crack...pic is not great.

Although I never had a crack in a tank I did have a AGA tank start leaking at the seam. While on Vacation at the time. It Suc&s!!!!! Better to be prepared and make arrangments now than wait and see. Hope it works out.
