Tank Bracing Slanting ?!?

[silverfish]

My Tank Bracing seem to be slanting! See the white arrow.. the left side seem to be lower. It happened about 3 days ago.

What can I do about it?.. sigh

Tank has been with me for a year already

Looks like too much rocks are leaning on the glass...

Why not remove some of the water first and redo the rockscape?

At the same time, take out those rocks that are not really necessary.

careful, better resolve this ASAP. as you know, glass is not elastic. don't wait too long or the whole thing may just break.

i had a 4ft tank where the top bracing gave way after and the glass shattered immediately. Glass doesn't bend, when it breaks, it just just do it without giving you any warning.

becareful.

leaning rock on glass maybe cause

also too much rocks on one side will also cause this

weight of rocks is very significant

[shiraz]

the silicon on the left side joining the front and the side is being 'stretched' i guess.. should be quite weak.. better to remove all the silicon on the left side and also the bottom and get it done again..

Thanks for the advice! I will redo the rockscape for now.. : X

[bum]

it might not only be the weight of the rock that is stressing the glass.

water exerts a huge amount of pressure too.

you might want to relook your whole tank setup carefully.

a real tank 'crash' is a nightmare
