Saw this today and I think the video summarizes exactly why I am so nervous about putting in a 1000g system in my basement.

    Yea, I saw that a couple of days ago. It looks like its an acrylic tank that started to fail at the top where the bracing was.

    Yikes! So much for acrylic being indestructable.

    Michika, do you have a floor drain in your basement?

    That was seriously fast. Kinda neat to see the video though.

    Interesting no doubt, but I certainly wouldn't want it to be happening in my basement! Yes, I do have floor drains, there is one in the fishroom itself and one in the utility room behind it.

    This was posted on our local clubs forum and it reminded me why I made sure our renters insurance covers aquarium spillage even if I don’t have water in the 120 yet.
