Aww, man. Sorry to hear, but glad you didn't lose anything (and hopefully your floors are ok). Its stories like these that keep me up at night (and get me out of bed damned quick when I hear weird noises at night).

Thanks.

Our recent experience does not even hold a candle to Peters.

Only about 100G ended up leaking out. We were able to drain the tank before it completely drained itself.

We have floating wood floors so they will need to be replaced. I already have a new tank scheduled to be delivered.

How was it leaking? From one of the seams or ?
