Blasting rock a couple lots over...

Devon, you're worrying about nothing. The blast will give a bit of a rumble in the ground, it might even startle the fish a bit. The tank will be fine. Unless rocks come through your roof, in which case insurance will cover it

Oh awesome!! Thank you Brad. Last night I dreamt about the tank busting and losing all my fish & coral and flooding our house. Would you still cover it so a fish doesn't jump out from the noise?
Cheers,
Devon

No, two years ago I had days of blasting across the street, fish hardly noticed. No harm covering it if you have anything inclined to jump though.

If the blast would do that much damage, or any at all to the neighbors homes , I can almost guarantee it would not even be permitted to take place.

It would be endangerment.

True - just had me worried. A home inspector has been hired and he's going to all the surrounding houses to have a report of pre-existing issues so if damage is done (structural) then their insurance will cover from the blast.

that realy depends, in your area Brad there is a lot of sediment, my old house if I would have had it when they took down the small mountian about 3 lots over my tank would have burst apart. as it was it cracked drywall, stucco, ect... of course this was about 6 blasts over a couple weeks.

I would find out when the blast is going to be and be home for it, most likly it will be fine though.
