i noticed my tank has a small crack forming in the top brace. i recently moved it to this place last month.

the tank is uneven and leans to the front, maybe a 1/8 inch or so difference from front to back.

it is on laminate flooring so im not too crazy about putting levelers to damage it.. and the tank is about 5 or so years old.

my question is, will just simply getting a new glass tank fix this problem, or is the indifference too great?

my dad thinks just getting an acrylic tank in it's stead will make it hold but im not sure...

photobucket hasnt been letting me upload but i attached some pictures.its only noticible upclose, i think its added a slight bow.. not sure yet

If your floor is not leveled, I think you should go with Acrylic as you can have more room for damage.

If it's glass, everything has to be level and perfect, otherwise disasters strike.

I'd get a new tank and not have to deal with the sore eyes.
