Has Anyone Had Tank Failure?

[REG THE SLEDGE]

Hi has anyone ever experienced coming home from work or somewhere to find that your tank glass has had a crack and all the water has dissapeared? or anything in that way or matter? Everytime i do a water change i examine the seems and surroundings for moisture , as a very very small crack or flaw can turn into a serious problem, especially if bought second hand.

No.
Best to fill the tank up with water when you have first bought it to make sure it dosn't leak.
Ask how old the tank is as some need resealing.
Always check the tank before you buy for cracks and damage.
