I just received a fallen fortress from Tarheel ants. There was a pretty big crack that allowed you to see the water tower. Is this normal?

It's normal. Mack usually makes small openings in the type III to see the water level of the water tower and to allow an opening where you can shine light through to light up the water tower.

My Fallen Fortress has no "cracks" in it. But I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that.

Yes, we need photos to see what you mean. All THA water towers are visible from below by design.

Okay, well the issue been resolved so it is okay now. However, I just connected up my fallen fortress to move a colony of mines, and the water tower is causing the glass to get fogged up, does anyone know how to fix this?

Did you make it overflow?
Yes, but that was before i let the ants in, I let it dry overnight.
Did you make it overflow?
Also, I asked this question in a different post.
