Thankfully nothing was lost!

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 ?

If you couldn't read the whole read what Peter had wrote on the failure there was no leakage nor any indication of an impending failure it was a sudden failure no warning at all.

If Peter or his crew had noticed any defect at all they would of done something about it.

The tank ran for 5 years and cleaned and inspected every 2 days in that five year period without fail as he was willing to show his tank at almost any time during the day so it was kept in pristine condition

Wet dreams?

Mind boggling loss of life.The financial hit is another thing. All that water exited his home rather quickly thanks to forward thinking when the support systems were first put in place. His insurance only covers damage to the home. The tank and its contents are all on his dime.It appears that he had just settled in approximately 100 fish from another system that was shut down.Absolutely crushing news.
