What a nightmare this was

[Silk]

Well last night I woke up at 2:30 am to a big crash and slosh comming from the tank room. Got up and took a look and there was my 29 gallon refugium all over my floor!!!!!!!! The table that it was sitting on next to my 90 gal for a month and a half finally had enough of it and decided to break a leg. Well to make a long story short I have just spent about 500 bucks replacing the tank and some equip I lost and totally redooing everything today. In all it took me about 18 hours to fix this little mess. Guess that is the last time I use a regular table to hold a fish tank on.

WOW!!!! I feel very sorry for you! Maybe you can use your tax rebate check to help defray the costs

Where abouts in Oregon are you?

So how long did it take you to mop-up/vacuum-up the water on the floor? or was it carpet? The last time something like that happened on me, my wife still complains about the stain on the carpet and a faint fishy smell that won't go away.

Sounds like you were lucky not to syphon the rest of the tank onto the floor. My deepest sympathy.
