AinSophAur Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Had my QT for about 4 months now. Last night as it was drying it cracked. I washed it with cool water and set it down on the counter to dry. Woke up and it cracked all the way around the base. I've never dropped or abused the base in anyway. I sent MYA an email explaining what happened and sadly they wont replace it. I purchased it from MNH so I'm gonna send them an email too but most likely I will end up having to pay for a new base + shipping which is rediculous.

yashman19 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hmm... search around the forum a bit, I don't think you're the first person this has happened to... Could be a sign of things to come in the future for Mya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AinSophAur Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yea I've seen it happen a few times here, but from what I remember MYA were always good on the replacement issue. Clearly my base was defective from the start. I really think they should send me a new one. Id be willing to pay the shipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Unfortunately, glass breaks. Especially glass blown into roundish shapes. Even if nothing bad happened to it, expansion and contraction from temperature changes can create weaknesses and eventually create fissures which crack.

AinSophAur Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 yes yes i know. Which is why i tried to wash it in luke warm water. So unless I get a replacement I think I will be using some aquarium safe silicone to seal off the crack. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I just had the exact same issue with my Vortex. The only difference was that the crack was closer to the threaded portion of the neck. Dissapointing to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
