I'm not trying to be inflammatory but any other tank with viewing Windows are generally more to way more expensive. Sometimes when you go for the lowest bidder things like this become more common. The problem is that these things are so big that they can't just send a quick replacement in the post. Most Chinese companies I've dealt with are a bit more difficult to get quick results from, and you add the size and potentially removal of these tanks and it compacts. Hopefully others won't have this problem, and that this was a freak case.Perfect! For a tank that price they better be making them last long, I would also be pretty pissed of mine started flaking off
