Man I feel for you. Your title forced me to check this thread to make sure it wasn't your giant tank that blew.

Glad it was the giant tank, but that really sucks that the 90g leaked

It was the right hand seam up front, never looked good from the factory, one of the reasons I done like bow tanks, not enough glass area surface to seal properly. Funny it lasted 2 years, least it didn't happen when I was out of town last week, question now is do I replace it or rehome inhabitants?

I feel your pain! I just had my 3 month old sump magically and mysteriously crack on the bottom pain of glass. I'm not looking forward to redoing the drywall or carpet, but I am looking forward to redoing my fish room to allow for room to move.

And yes, Mr Murphy can kiss my butt.

Oy! The thought of one my tanks leaking or breaking a seal or whatever scares the crap out of me. That and velvet.

I got a 90gal sitting here if you want it, probably won't fit your space though.

Thanks for the offer, I have 2 spare 90 's sitting here so I am good, my heart near stopped when I went in the fish room as it initially looked like it was comming from the 300, can't even imagine dealing with a leak on that. Finished cleaning up this morning, only casualty was 2 ceiling tiles, so not bad considering, one foot over and the leak would have dripped right into the 300 , considering the color of the water that was on the floor that couldn't have ended well.
