I've had this RBTA for about 6 weeks or so and it has split twice already. The last time it split twice in less than 5 hours. This morning this is what I saw. I am so thankful I bought this cover for my mp40. But I could not get it off. I tried ice, I tried high flow, it wouldn't budge. Finally I put the cover in a fish net and let the tank flow gently move it around hoping that would piss it off and it would move. It took about 45 minutes but it finally released.
