This might answer the ongoing question is my tank strong enough

[Sasquatch]

Yeah, many of us have seen it before. Very surprising.

You should know the f1oored was (is?) a member of this forum.:wink2:

[cocoa_pleco]

haha, f1oored made that and posted it in the video section over a year ago! he hasnt been on in forever

[Drumachine09]

I miss f1oored. We used to argue who was better at the arcade.....

[Incredulous_Ed]

Yeah, an AC member put that up. Didnt f1oored have a baby or something? maybe thats why he isnt on.

[cocoa_pleco]

still its not hard to drop by once a month

[Incredulous_Ed]

Yeah well, maybe he got busy and just forgot. Alot of times you just lose intrest in stuff.

smaller tank though harder to break.... bigger footprint would be trouble.....

[NickFish]

A smaller tank would be easier to break but still, you have to admit that's strong! And i still never broke!

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, the vids exactly a year old!

Nick smaller tank the footprint is closer. Less surface area so more stress per square inch but also less stress on the glass because the supports are closer........ The bigger the piece the easier it is to break..... That is why when tanks get bigger you have to use thicker glass... The surface area tension can not hold the water weight.....

Moooooom!!!

[jbeining75]

ah haha he yelled for his mom instead of grabbing the bucket that was right there..... Poor fish....

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, i remember that video, he could have just handled it himself

[jbeining75]

5 gallons of water in 10 seconds thats a pretty good flow rate!!!!!

[Drumachine09]

Larger tanks also have thicker glass, usually braced in the middle, or in thirds.

[Hailey]

thats pretty cool

[cocoa_pleco]

i actually think small tanks and large tanks are equal. small tanks 55g and under have thin glass and small surface area, but 75g's and 90g's have huge braces and thick glass. my 90g has gone though my pacu hitting it multiple times and not a crack, the glass is mega thick
