....one of the 20's let go...a real oops moment...not sure which lower seam, but it was losing water quite quickly....blah. I pulled it down, popped another 20 up there and rinsed/swapped everything over......'hot' mag's running now to tidy up while I wait for the temp to adjust.....dang, that'll get your adrenalin flowing.....LOL...
We had a 30 pop a couple months ago. The water kinda trickled slowly across the dining room floor. Good thing we were home at the time.
I'll look it over in the spring.. ;D...it's out back now....
That's sucks. It's one of my biggest fears. But i only have three tanks going and two of them are big tanks.
The biggest pain about it is swapping things over to a new tank.....but I had a new 20 sitting about 6ft away....and I cleaned and swapped as I went.....Koi and BN in a fiver, used the same gravel(unwashed)...replanted the plants...rinsed the sponge and corner box filter, refilled with water, and got the heater running....when I got it back up to temp, I put the fiver water (few gal's) and fish back.......so it was nothing but a big water change for them ;D....all are happy now.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Good to hear everything went smoothly. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
