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.

oh man, now that would have been scary. I think someone on here that had their dishwasher leaking through the floor into the tank. My tank is in the basement as I wanted it on concrete slab so if there was a leak it wouldn't be a huge deal but I never even gave a moments thought to anything leaking above it!

Geez Dave what a bummer. Be thankful tho, it could have been soooo much worse.

Man that really sucks. Is the 90 FW or SW?
I managed to flood my office last monday with RO water when I messed with a bulkhead on the sump. All over our new ( just before X-mas ) carpet.
Thankfully it didn't spread past the corner or go downstairs.

It was salt, figure I lost about 10 gallons. Inspection of the trouble seam shows 4 small spots about an inch apart where the silicone failed to bond, looks like someone with oily fingers picked up the piece of glass during assembly.

Holy crap Dave! I just saw this thread. (Was away and missed it).
Wow, good thing you were home at the time! Still sucks though. Makes me wonder about my 90g bow.

That's why Bob would never carry bow fronts in stock, failure rate was too high. You should be fine with yours, mine was el-cheepo all glass brand, make a good hamster cage for someone, would be an easy fix but been there done that, too old for rebuilding tanks, most likely toss it in the recycle bin.
I am just glad it did not drip into the 300, think that would have been the end for me.
