LYNDYLOO Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I would think this would be unrepairable. The tank has cracked about an inch in from the base on the right hand side, crack runs around the corner to about half an inch in to the top of the side of the tank. dattofish: Problem is I have house insurance but not contents insurance, ended a 27yr marriage and basically left with nothing, so had nothing to insure, untill now being a few months later where I have finally built up enough contents to insure. So claiming insurance is out of the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I think thats a risk that we all take by keeping fish, I dont think it matters what brand, make, size etc. its always a possiblity that a tank might pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I thought the deal with 620Ts was that it's thin glass, and the corners are even thinner than the rest so they crack under stress. I'm so sorry you had to go through that Weird dattofish that carpet wasn't covered under house insurance - it's definitely a fixture (unless it's like a mat, rather than real carpet). If a plumbed dishwasher counts as a fixture (unless otherwise specified), then carpet definitely does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karina Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Weird dattofish that carpet wasn't covered under house insurance - it's definitely a fixture (unless it's like a mat, rather than real carpet). If a plumbed dishwasher counts as a fixture (unless otherwise specified), then carpet definitely does. My understanding is that carpet is a fixture but I can see the insurance company being able to back out of the claim seeing as the carpet was not "fixed". Dishwashers are a chattel. Linda the 620T I bought had extra silicone added to the back edges. Perhaps this helps strengthen it? I will have to move at least 2 4 foot tanks soon perhaps even 3 if one doesn't sell. Not looking forward to it :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
