I almost got a new 55

I got a 55 gallon and a ten for my birthday yea=sterday, but when I got hom the plastic support accross the middle was cracked , and some moron covered it with a big sticker so we couldn't tell. We brought it back and the guy said he had no more so I have to wait until friday. I ordered the supplies (filters, heaters, etc.) from the internet yesterday so hopefully they will arrive the day the tank gets in. Oh well, atleast I got a ten gallon and a severum out of it.

It's a very good store, he's going to give us a new one. He's been running the store for 30+ years, so i understand (he's old) . If we didn't notice that there would be 55 gallons of water and 50 pounds of expensive black gravel all over the floor. I should actually blame the company, for covering the crack with a bright orange "tempered glass" sticker

That's VERY cool.

I wouldn't even have thought to inspect it.

You might have saved me a huge mess dwarfs, Thanks. I'm going to really look over my 55g when I purchase it.

I can picture my dog rolling around in 50 pounds of wet black tahitian moon sand.

Good, without that support the tanks bows and cracks, so when you get one make sure there are no cracks in the glass or supports
