Thanks.

Thats so awesome that the fish made it.

Tank was an All-Glass.

J&L opens at 11am so I will call Jeff in a minute.

I just took the rest of the day off and rented a couple of those carpet blower fans - just gottem' setup - I think it'll work for drying it out. I'll shampoo the carpet after the underlay is dry.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for all the kind words.

Windows are open, heat is cranked, bathroom fans are on. I just need a magic wand. Anything else?

I didn't think a 100% water change was gonna be this hard.

Well the All-Glass tank wasn't setup on an All-Glass stand so I'm fcuked.

Eh, don't sweat it. You sound more angry than I am.

I used to work there. I knew the policy.

If I knew the tank would explode in my living room after 1 week I woulnd't of bought it.

Funny, thinking back:

Fiance "you should get the 65 gallon, its only $4 dollars more"

Me "nah, don't want to go that big in case theres a flood"

Geez maybe I should change my name. Everyone always thinks I'm angry. Hard to communicate over computers.
