i've seen pics of a guys bigger nano cube blow out the front randomly on him.

I bought the tank from a friend he had it setup for 8 months he went bigger i had it for 5 months. it was a 65g cube and it ****tered.


How long was it set up, new/used, what was the tank (size, shape/design), how did it break, did it crack or ****ter...............

Not personally but I had a friend whos 46g bowfront basically explode while he was eating dinner one night!

Rock slide possible?

All i can think of is if it was warm in your house and then u maybe turn on AC it could cause the glass to break from the temp change

[Jamesr]

how long did u have water in it? Front/side panel or bottom panel.... any pics of the tank on stand before/after??


About 3 months just really started so didn't really have alot of livestock in it. only panel that was left was the bottom

I had a nano cube once that I had gotten for free because it had been leaking for the previous owner. I had planned on resiliconing it to salvage. I set it up and had it sitting on my kitchen counter for about a week. I checked and it was 100% level. To my surprise, I couldn't get the tank to leak at all. And then one day during that week, I was sitting in my living room when I hear what sounded like a pebble hitting a window. I walked into the kitchen to find a giant crack all the way down the side and water leaking out.

I was cleaning the windows today and noticed a hole in one of the screens near the tank. Maybe one of the neighbor kids shot it with a pellet gun!
