Thanks for all the feedbacks & suggestions

AGA does warranty their tanks even if it is not their stand you are using.

I talked with a technical support guy from AGA & he said it might be a temperature issue since this is an inwall setup.

Viewing room is always 65-72 degrees while the garage/back side is anywhere from 50-60 degrees. He said that the glass can contract & since their is a variance in temp it could have caused the tank to give at one of the bottom front seems. He said that they have never tested it but it could be the root cause, kinda sounds believable if glass really contracts?
Sound like BS to me but what do I know.
He also said that it could be a humidity issue in the garage & it could have caused the stand to warp. I doubt this since it has not been setup long enough to have caused it to warp.
They are offering me store credit from the LFS if I wanted, but i am still weighing out my options.

I doubt it is the level of the stand, if it is off it would not be more then an 1/8 " & I dont't think it would cause it to cause a problem.

I was thinking it could have been a pressure point on the bottom of the glass as "sterbrock1" mentioned. Since I have a shallow sand bed 1/2" & about 250pounds of Lr. But if it were it would have cracked at 1 point & shattered the whole bottom pane, since it is a tempered piece of glass.

Still thinking of my options & time will tell to give it up or try again.
Wifey wants no part of it anymore
