Glass Failure??

[rghering]

I noticed this while cleaning the glass in my tank its on the right hand side glass.
I knew that "some" were there but I don't know if its "grown" or not.. Anyone know what it means? Is glass failure eminent?

Hmmm.. not sure what that is from the picture... Is your tank glass or acrylic?

Looks like there's lots of pressure there. Is your tank level?

tank is perfectly level, I checked that just in case it settled or something..

Figured I'd ask the obvious. My best guess, don't trust that glass.

Are those bubblies in the glass? Can you get a closer pic?

 

[rghering]

yes they are bubbles in the glass, I can't get a closer pic as my camera won't focus that close.

If they are air bubbles in the glass then there is a huge chance that it will get weak and crack. As the air in glass will most likely aid in making the glass more brittle.

Well my buddies been trying to find a reason for me to buy his 150 gallon, I guess I might have to take him up on it, unless I can find another 125 cheap. I don't like the idea of all that hard work going down the drain, nope not at all..

I know, but have you SEEN my tank??? I don't NEED a hood, stand or anything else.. and I don't want to store it until I could sell it..
I built an entire WALL around my tank.. Make me an offer that I can't refuse hehe

Thats why i was confused, he said growing. bubbles dont grow in glass

My guess is there micro cracks that look like bubbles unless they were there at manufacturing.

I didn't remember them from when we got the tank, but I did notice them a few months back. However after going through my tank build pics I did spot them in one photo. I'd bet they are micro fractures, so I am still going to try to find a replacement tank.

I would definately be leary for sure.
