mattrox Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That's bad news man! Hope that you can sort things out and your fish recover from the shock of the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damoq Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It must be the Dimi Comps cause the same thing happened to my 6x2x2 tank about 4 years ago and it had my large colony of Dimi Comps in it but unfortunately i wasn't home when it happened and i lost all my fish Cheers,Damo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krellious Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yeah glass cracked on the base from front left corner to back right. Not good and glad i was home and the gf made me go look for intruders that where making a noise. The fish where fine this morning but not sure how long it will be before they kill each other. Anyone got a spare tank to house them for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joller Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 was it 5x2x2? did you have polystyrene under? how many support beams did it have along the tank? maybe the stand is a bit wonky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 5x20 x20 and it was th previous tenants of my house. So it was set up for ages before i had it in the garage. There is ptlenty of styrofoam However the front support beam has no support in the middle and it allears to sag a littley. Ohh well more money. to lay out for the hobby. Hope the darn fish appreciate and breed so i can pay for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
