How can you be at work, not knowing?
Sure hope you get off soon and get home and get it fixed.
Is that a bead of silicone on the tank?
I have lots of space available if you need to store those anemones anywhere. :)

Is there anything I can do to help?

It is my 18x18x22" acrylic tank.....locally built and about a year and a couple months old. It is tearing apart at the seams connecting the left pane and the front pane.

Not too cool with stuff like this happening. Makes me mad...worried...the list goes on...lol

Best,
Ilham
 
Call the maker & see if they can at least help you with a temporary tank until they can fix or replace that one, I would hope they would make it good, I wonder what is the cause!!
 
Sorry to hear than man...And I thought I had problems. Hope it all works out for you. Seems like the nicest people get the worst luck! First Chuck's tank, then Nikki's now yours...I wish you well Ilham:)
 
I should be able to get off work soon...see the damage done, recharge my phone, f@#@#@$@@ weekend. :eek:

I'll let you know Gabby, Krish.

I can loan you a 10 gallon or you can have the use of a 65 gallon in my basement till you can get yours fixed. Let me know if either of these options will help.
 
hey Ilham Im here for ya buddy. give me a call If you need some help. I got a 55 gallon that has no center brace. if you could make some room just glue a peice of acrilic in the middle. let me know how bad the damage is.
 
Oh no! Hang in there Ilham! So sorry to see this. A Eurobrace is one thing, but the side of a tank! Keep us updated...
 
I made it. I have no idea what went wrong with this tank. I have several projects that are pushing 3 years old that have no problems. Hopefully elmo's tank will be ready to go by friday so he can swap it out.
