Thankfully, the manager at the
LFS near where I work is pretty cool. He contacted the All-Glass rep and explained what happened, and the rep said if I took pictures and called them, they'd provide me an email address to send the pictures to so they could send me a new stand. When I mentioned that if this one cracked in less than a year, I'm not sure I really want another stand like that, the LFS guy said to have it shipped to their store, and they'd take the price off a sturdier stand.
I've been trying to find a temporary tank I can use to hold most of my fish (some will go back to the store) while I tear down the 90 and rebuild it, and I finally got one last night! I found a used 55g with stand on Craigslist that I picked up last night for $75. I'll start giving it a very thorough cleaning this weekend, and move the fish over after I'm satisfied that it's clean.
I have some fairly dramatic changes planned for the 90g since I'm tearing it down anyway, so there will be some (hopefully) interesting threads coming in the next couple of months.
