Lovely video to watch as my 180 is getting filled while I'm at work...

So thats what would have happened if the walls that were bowing on my 2000g pond gave out. Sure glad they didn't

HOLAY!!!! I am surprised they have not made any kind of computer technology to monitor the glass or sides of the tank to alarm you if something like this is about to happen! And if they already have this machine, when I setup the 400GAL tank I want, it WILL HAVE IT! haha.

somehow I doubt the insurance company was too impressed by this!? Kind of makes you wonder what it would look like if Big Als Shark Tank(2000GAL) burst?!?! WHAT A MESS!!! lol.

I had a 600g hot water condo boiler empty into my wood frame condo on the 3rd floor. Wasn't that fun/

You could get strain gauge installed... Used in industrial applications all the time.
