Holy Smokes!!! This one is worth a watch. Unfortunately, 3 of the sharks did not make it. Gonna check my seams tonight.

I saw this earlier today, so sad and scary. :(

wonder who made that tank.

[extreme_tooth_decay]

Probably made in China.

Wow! that's a quick burst! I originally thought it was 33.5 gallons.

[trockafella]

Probably made in China.

 

LMFAO..!

[jimlin]

maybe the acrylic was not thick enough.

[extreme_tooth_decay]

Maybe there was too much malamine in the acrylic.

 

Seriously, though...although hard to see, it looked to me like it failed from the top to the bottom. Like a seam opening up, maybe? I wonder if any of the "acrylic glass" pieces actually broke.
