In the video one of the people up front was taking a picture as it broke. I'd like to see what got in the photo.

we was encounter with the horible feeling that was happened to ourself afew years ago
Tank of the Month - June 2008 - Reefkeeping.com
It was 3:00 AM when I heard the noise. BOOM! It was a fateful noise that woke me from my sleep. I wasn�t sure what had happened. I thought a bomb went off or the furnace blew up, so I rushed to the garage (where the tank was temporarily placed) and opened the door. With the first step into the garage I knew where the noise came from. There was water everywhere in the garage! My heart sank because I knew it was my tank that had exploded.
The previous night we decided to add a little more rock and another bag of sand to the tank. I�m not really sure why it happened (if it was the added weight with the extra rock and sand or if it was just its time to go), but for me, that was the end of my days enjoying the reefing hobby, or so I thought. I turned to my niece and said, �That�s it! I quit!� as I surveyed the damage. It was a real mess; the bottom blew out of the tank and all of the rock and sand dropped into the sump. There were some outlets on the floor (temporary during the setup) that were shorting out. The pumps filled with sand and seized up, and there was rock and sand everywhere (I still find little bits of sand in the garage today). It basically looked like a total loss. I opened the garage doors to the driveway and watched weeks of hard work wash down the driveway.
i really knew how that feel it..too bad we do not have camera to recorded.

That is sad.
Your experience too Dang. I dread the thought of that possibly happening.
