"I would definitely call this a catastrophic failure, a very rare event," said Mat Roy, president of Living Color, the Fort Lauderdale firm that installed the aquarium at Gulfstream and two smaller ones behind the backstop at Marlins Park.
The acrylic cylinder used in the aquarium was manufactured by Reynolds Polymer Technology, Inc., of Grand Junction, Colo. "It is inexplicable why this leak would have developed as it did, in the location it did," said Mark Miller, the company's chief financial officer. He said company representatives would inspect the tank later this week.

Looks like a Reynolds boo boo to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIzKtE6xSr8 Unless LC stressed the seam somehow. I thought Reynolds stacked two cast cylinders to reach 13', I was surprised to see the seam down the side.Checker":17mwdxnl said:He's just quoting the press release of which they never mentioned Reynolds... they require that vendor sell to them again so I think after Matt Roy stated the above, he figured it would be best NOT to keep harping on "it was Reynolds"... LC is still the installer and I highly suspect, their bond is what is going to be called in.
