    Default Well this is a bummer...Tank with serious flaw.

    I am getting ready to set up and was looking at the end of the tank to conceptualize the aquascape when I noticed this (see pic). There is no way I can safely set it up not to mention that it is a nasty visual defect to boot. I just sent Great Lakes an email. This is under warranty so I am hoping that they will replace it.
