Overnight tragedy

[rob92]

Fed my fish last night and turned off the lights before I went to bed and I wake up to my dad telling me there's no water in my tank. I come down stairs to see this

Oh. My. O.O You must be awfully upset!!

No I'm not gonna reseal it. I think I'm gonna just help my girl with her first 35g octagon that's in our room. Used to me mine before I got the 55 an now she wants it. Funny thing is we started working on the 35g last night.

Oh. My. O.O You must be awfully upset!!

I am upset but at the same time PO'ed. Why couldn't this happen during the day

 

[rob92]

I've been looking at the apex controllers I just wish I would of gotten one with the leak detection. Maybe I could of saved the fish.

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Sorry!

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

Aww man!! Sorry you're going through this!!

 

[Mike&Terry]

So sorry to see this! :sad:

 

[jrbates08]

Omg this just happened to me!! Even posted a thread on here about it too. Same seam too. Bottom seam. Careful everyone. It seems like the "seams" month :/

 

[SmoothSmoke]

Oh my, sorry dude.

 

[SmoothSmoke]

I wonder if it's a certain brand tank that is more susceptible to this problem?

 

[VicD81]

Same thing happened to me a couple months back. I think the bottom seam also. I bought a new tank and then cracked it shortly after trying to drill it. I resorted to resealing my old one. so far so good.

Yes, ours lol

 

[rob92]

What brand tank was it? I'm not sure about what brand mine was but I also resealed mine and was going great for months
