Help Support Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum:

Holy smokes! Carry on man! Let us know if there is anything we can help with...
 
Sorry to hear it Dang, if there's anything I can do, I'd be happy to swing by after work tomorrow or Friday?
I've been trying to get work to order from you guys as much as possible, hopefully it will make the cost a little less painful for another new tank!
 
i had a similar incident happen with a 140G freshwater tank a number of years ago. Luckily for me, it was on a hardwood floor :) Good luck getting the tank back together!
 
Happy you are still here, wishing you no more problems.

Dog Dang that it is bad ;) I take it the tank is FUBAR. That happen to a friend once. He fell asleep on the couch, woke up kinda dazed and wonderd why the plants looked so limp. Rolled his leg off the couch and put his foot on the floor and wondered why it felt so wet and cool :lol:

Was this a DIY tank ? I once woke up to a load bang from a DIY tank ( 35 gal) breaking in my basement. I found about 200 Walley fry swimming arround in 1/4 inch of water on the floor :(

Sorry about your bad luck Dang.
Glad to see you got right back on the horse.
My mom was care taking our house one time and felt the need to leave the sprinkler on our rasberry patch all night.
When we got home 3 days later I went down stairs and found an inch of water in a 1000sf basement.
Should have just started a shark tank!
Thank god for the contractor grade shop vac.
