60 cube seam popped this morning

[jerl77]

Sitting on my couch and I hear water running
And look over and the seam on my 60 cube was leaking
What a nightmare woke the whole house up with me screaming and yelling.
Saved the fish.
the floor is destroyed and the basement got flooded.
Ready to get out of the hobby.
What a morning………….
But the wife took it very well lol
She said great I get new floors.

Stuff happens and I can't think of a more disheartening situation than this. Don't give up though, Reefing is very satisfying once you get the hang of it. A quality tank will serve you well.

I see countless people say "I'm not wasting money on a Waterbox, Red Sea, etc. when I can buy one for 1/4 of their price." They're thinking incorrectly. Would you rather pay more now, or deal with this later and have to pay much more?

Again, really sorry to hear. Hang in there.

I agree
This is my other tank
The cube was just a toy
This is my big boy
Just not what I wanted to do today lol

Sorry to see that The glass they use is pretty thin, need to bump it up or at the very least widen the seams.

I agree I had it 7 years I think
Just a really bad morning.
But I still have my big tank and my sump from
Just something I didn’t want to deal with today.
Lol
The wife is happy she is getting new floors lol
