I presume this tank/aquarium was not commissioned last night and bursted this morning. It has been standing there for years. There must be other factors than an early claim of a "less than adequate engineering or design".

I was reading more into this and doing research. It is suspected that because the tank was not heated there was a very large temperature variations from the top of the tank to the bottom of the tank. This in turn caused the acrylic to stress and fracture. And eventually exploded due to the water pressure letting out all the water

@levelup6243 Рік тому
Not quite... small k (kilo) is typically used to represent a factor of 1000 (eg kilometer), but large M (Mega) usually represents a factor of 1,000,000. So you could technically say one Ml (Megalitre) represents 1 million litres, but we don't typically use Mega to describe volume. In this case you just say 1m litres, where lower case m is used to abbreviate million. Same way we don't say Megapounds, or Gigapounds, so we use £1m, or £1b.
