how did you break your glass sump?? did you drop somthing and cracked it?? cuzz for the thinkness of most sump ( like 1/4') it 'may' posibly crack if you drop somthing on it if what ever the tank id sitting on happen to warp or dent. ( like if you set your sump on foam )
That's the wierd thing. Nothing dropped on it, nothing hit it. In fact, the crack was right down the middle of the front pane of glass, in an arc.
No rhyme or reason for it. We were really bummed.
