My guess is the crack happened during the move to the new house. I had noticed salt creep build up but just assumed it was normal. During some cleaning I noticed the crack while cleaning.

I hadn’t noticed it. Saw the salt creep built up just thought it was normal. But when cleaning the tank yesterday actually saw the tank flex at that spot.

Oh man that is bad news

Haha, after starting the bigger tank I have a dream for an even bigger one! Just need permission and a big check book.

RIP, nuvo20. What a great nano tank and such a shame that this happened. Well at least you still got the big tank to focus on!

the two holes in the plastic are from where i had my light mounted. that was the two screw holes that pealed off the plastic.

my guess is the tank was cracked during the house move. and i never noticed till now.

But anyways, take is shut down and crack was inspected. goes all the way down the back as i suspected and being held together by the black plastic. tank is now outside and dry =[

all fishies + coral + anemones added to the 90g and it seems a bit over packed now.
