So I came home from the springs today to find my newly acquired/established 24 nanocube in pieces strewn across my counter and floor.



I am looking to buy a bio or nanocube of about the same size if anyone has one available. I'm really sad and ****ed right now about this whole thing but I'm not ready to give up yet. If you have something shoot me a PM or a text at 970-708-762zero

My best guess is the rock fell and somehow managed to destroy it. The whole front is in pretty much one piece too actually.

if it was a biocube converted to rimless, I've heard of this happening after a while. Something to do with the loss of support. On another note, I'm glad it wasn't the new 180! Sorry to hear of the nano tho. That really blow man.

Yeah, I had heard about that but when I looked into it they supposedly fixed that problem a while back by making it a seamless curve. When I was taking off the rim I noticed it wasn't actually touching the tank faces, it was just siliconed to the top of the glass.

Also check online. I can get new glass for my 29 for $100. Not sure if the same is available for the 24. Might be worth spending some time on google.

If it holds water then I'll buy it off you. How'd you patch it?
With help from Khalis, we put plate glass in the 3rd chamber and put a larger piece in the back just in case for reinforcement. I have no doubt it will continue to hold water for as long or longer then I had it.
