It will need to be drained first??? That really sucks..If it is not under warranty Is it possible it can be reinforced as well. What do you guys mean the seam were stressed while taking it down stairs?
Hopefully you can work through this. It will be all the more sweeter in the end...

I would look into adding more to the eurobracing, but right now I don't have anything left in me to deal with this crap any more... Again I don't know what I am going to do right now... I am not sure it could have been cared for any better then it was getting it down the stairs... Custom Movers did a great job and again I can't say it was the move or AO or anything else... Its just one of those things that happened and now I need to figure out what to do about it...

Unfortunately that looks like a manufacturer defect. Now don't all start flaming me, but seriously, if that had happened from the move, it would have burst a lot sooner, like when he first filled it. And since he is not in earthquake country, it's not like the tank took a big enough hit to cause the silicone to come loose.
Now we all know that you can cut the silicone with a metal scraper, but that wouldn't explain why the eurobracing split open.

Try giving the vendor a call and see what they say.

OMG! Man, I totally feel for you. Search for "Troll" in the Vendor feedback forum, eerily similar. I have only read this last page and will read more in a few. I don't even know what to say, you are way too nice of a guy for this to happen to. Regardless of one year, two years, whenever you set it up .... its COMPLETELY the builder's responsibility to get this taken care of. Wow, and there was just a thread about rimless tanks and how eurobracing is SO much better. Yet the last the splits like this I remember on RC were all eurobraced tanks.

Wow fliger you might have a point. It is possible that the euro bracing does not let the tank flex at all and put more stress on the seams. 1 year warranty is crazy. I need to check with glass cages what kind of warranty I will get on my new tank. You would think they would have this down to an art by now.

1year warranty is rediculous. Looks to me like either faulty craftsmanship or bad silicon. there is no way a tank should come apart after 1 year. I'm coming into 12 months w/ my AO tank hope this does'nt happen to me. That's all I would need. Good luck and I am sorry to hear this about your tank.

I just read some more. Come on, its not the moving. Thats ridiculous. Tanks get moved all the time. This is silicone failing plane and simple. I don't think you and Troll are the only ones. Notice the thread's title. Pix are from Conceyted
