    Hi,

    I have been through 3 different fish tanks now that all develop hairline cracks, leading to me having to replace them.

    There's nothing out of the ordinary in the tank, just a few goldfish, props etc. and the pump/filter.

    What is going on here?

    Beverly Hills, California

    All cracks in same place? Where? Describe what the tank is placed on, have you polystyrene sheet under the tank?

    Are you picking up/trying to move the tank with water in it?

    I would suggest uneven floor or uneven stand that the tanks were on.

    If you're buying tanks with a floating base, a black raised plastic base you need to have it on a stand specifically designed for aquariums.

    Use a spirit level and check that it’s sitting flat
