	Broken Frame
akithra Fingerling Posts: 15 Kudos: 18 Votes: 11 Registered: 04-Dec-2004	I recently purchased an Oceanic 50 gallon and noticed the frame is broken in a spot (see pic). Does this matter (other than visually) or does the frame aid in the structure of the tank? Thanks! http://akithra.home.mchsi.com/crack.jpg Last edited by akithra at 19-Dec-2004 15:32

It does not appear to be a structual problem if that is what it is. Sorry to say but the photo just shows a corner not the whole area to get a better look at it. Contact where you bought the unit and explain it to them, If they are local show them on another tank. It could be just shrinkage of the timber.

I just wasn't sure if the molding was designed to increase the stability or it was just to make it look nice. I'm just being overly cautious; been reading too many aquarium horror stories lately,
