Earthquake Footage.. Reef Tank Wavemaker

[Jaybo]

This was captured on video of the 8.2 Indonesia earthquake the other day. I dont think this guy really wanted to see his tank with that much water movement. God... I hope my 120 never experiences this.. I dont think the glass would hold!!! Im surprised this tank stayed together!

People are always quick to say "Duh, Im so cool, calm, collected and generally better, Id never stand there in a dumfounded panic".

Years ago when my brother put a golf club through the side of my 70G, my sister in law was back from the garage with a shop vac before I really knew that Id better believe my eyes and scoop the fish off of the floor to put in the 40G across the room.:lol:
