Hon's tank

[Hon]

20 Jan 2008 was a sad day for me. It mark the death of my marine tank and my passion to this hobby.

My 4yrs+ tank broke. The Dow Corning silicon between the front and bottom glass gave way. Water and sand gushing out from the gap. Tank water was drain imediately to prevent the front glass from cracking. All livestock when into the trash as I do not have spare tank or time to rescue them.

Below are the last fewpics of my tank. Hope I will be back in 2-3yrs time.

Lucky your flooring is tiles, not laminate, if not lagi more losses.

[jervismun]

Your floor looks sparkling white to me What's your plan next? Acrylic tank?

[thedidavid]

I can feel your feeling bro...tank broken, lost LS, flooded house, and cleaning the mess it's really unimagineable. I experience it myself first hand when my tank broke.

[shootsimon]

Do you know what's the cause of the Dow Corning silicon between the front and bottom glass giving way? Could it be ozone? Did you approach your tank maker what could be the cause. I see already a bit worry about my tank too. Mine would be worse as it a partition tank in my wall and also lami flooring

[Soul]

walao eh 2nd case this past mth liao a tank gave way ... sorry for ur lose bro hope to see u back soon.

Hon,

We havent chatted for years.... and its a very sad way to see your hobby end. I guess reefing catastrophes tend to be very sudden and very demoralising and heart-breaking.

You have my condolences. Take care and see you in a few years time hopefully!
