Miine's 170 gallons, this is one of my nightmares of fishkeeping.

But it's very uncommon.
...Riiiiight
 
One of my neighbors had his 3000-liter SALTWATER REEF tank EXPLODE right in front of him. Needless to say, his new tank is now only 120L...

I expect it's the salt that does it, tropical fish tanks would never do that, no they would never, ever do that, they won't will they, 'cos there's no salt, yes that's it, there's no salt so I'll be fine.
 
 
I have now convinced myself.

Great...now I'm going to lie awake at night feeling like I should convert my glass tanks back to plastic tubs. Big plastic tubs may be super ugly as aquariums and difficult to fit filters onto, but, if forces line up wrong, all they do is wobble and make a weird noise instead of exploding lol.
