CA2OR Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have an idea involving an empty dumpster, a roof, and a small piece of wood. My thought it to position dumpster below roof, use narrow board to hold up lid, drop tank off roof which should snap the board causing the lid of the dumpster to close as the tank explodes on the bottom of the dumpster. Sounds good.....do you think it would work? .....now if I could just get the wife to take a video of all of this(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnewhouse Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Seems like an awful waste! I will take it off of your hands if you are just going to throw it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Then you are taking all the fun away(sad) Besides you are telling me it's a waste? I just spent like $400 on this tank less than 3 months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnewhouse Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 When I come to pick it up I will give you a cracked 2.5g tank to break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylaster Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 if the tank doesn't leak, why not donate it to the Tanks for Teachers, or goodwill, or offer it free???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I had a 75g with a stress fracture. Improperly made. SO it HAD to be destroyed. You'd be amazed how hard you can hit a glass tank with a hammer and have it not break. That was fun. On the breaking glass fun trip, my work does custom framing. Our last shop was on the 3rd floor. The trash chute went down to the basement. It would explode! That was also fun. Breaking glass is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitterbait Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I gave a 20g both barrels from a 12g once... i was picking small shards of glass out of my hair and clothes for the rest of the day. when they blow, they really blow. I recommend donating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
