The tank and stand are five months old. The floor is level and is a slab. Not too much damage to the house since its on a slab and tile flooring. I may have to buy a new mop.
I guess its good nobody was home at the time since the water came out with quite a gush - there was sand 12 feet away
and the bean bag I like to nap in had a pool of water in it.
As far as the cause I think there must have been a flaw in the glass. the crack looks like it started in the corner under the plastic rim of the tank. There is not way for an impact to happen on the edge since its covered with wood trim. Nothing has been moved in the tank for over a week and nobody was home at the time except the dog and the rabbit. Thats the big downside to glass - a tiny flaw thats put under tension will spread and accelerate.
I've got All-Glass's 1-800 number but I don't know what kind of hoops I will have to jump through for the warranty.
Once I get the water up I give ths stand a good check out I will go get a replacement tank. I'm not to sure about what to do with the sand in the tank. Its about 4 inches deep and is starting to smell like low tide. The corals in the sump are another question. The polyps are coming out and even the Xenia is trying to pump a little I can't leave them there when I put the return pumps back in.
Oh well back to mopping
