Wow, thats a pressure break for sure. The fact that it slowed down after the water level dropped significantly is honestly expected. The glass was forced out of place by the pressure of the water, so when the water is gone there isn't any pressure to push it out of place anymore.

I'm glad your fish made it and all is well in the end. In my opinion, that original glass isn't thick enough for that kind of load. Acrylic will be the much better option. I'd do the other sheet as soon as possible. I know it's pricey but it's cheaper than losing your fish and flooding your house if it explodes.

@deep4797 2 ай бұрын

Rust can expand right? The steelplates that where holding the glass was all rusted. can the rust over time create tension so the glass crack?

@azjuuladjeck 3 ай бұрын

hey George, I can say for 99,9% sure it started in the corner, most material tension is corner. Beside that, the top of the crack where you hurt your finger cant be shaped like that if this was the tension point. Glass was probably all fine tho, i suspect just 1 single grain of dirt between the frame and the glass while having an decent amount of pressure from the water.

@hakonsgaming535 Ай бұрын

I think Acrylic is probably better for this design, the problem with bolting in a glass pane like that is that glass is inherently prone to fracturing and even a tiny imbalance in pressure can cause it to crack and the pressure can actually weaken it over time. That's why the aquarium hobby didn't really pick up till silicone sealed and glued tanks appeared. You can find old metal frame tanks where the glass just brakes eventually because a tiny imbalance in pressure just eventually wins and the pane cracks.

I am planning to build an above-ground 5500-gallon koi pond, and I want to put three windows. I've been looking around, but I'm unsure who to trust. Any advice would help.

In a case like that i use underwater silicone glue for Swimmingpools and Aquarium. So you have 2 or 3 more days more time. You can fix the crack and stabilize it with plastic or glass or metal. It hold normally life long but not look well. And sometimes it hold only some days because you not see very fine cracks before. But it gives you minimum some days to repear. If you glue it from the inside the pressure not is on the crack if you repair it from the outside the pressure is on the crack. Thats why i have a silicone i can use unter water to repair and it dry underwater So maby you can install the new window from the inside before you cut of the old one from the outside
