It happenned last night. I was posting something on MFK while waiting for the bathtub to fill. Then I went to turn of the water, undressed to take a bath but heard strange noises. I went to the living room and saw water pouring out of the tank like a waterfall, wet floor and a 3' lungfish swimming around.
My livingroom has two levels, I ran down to the tank to try stop the flooding and, staying up to my anckles in water, remembered the electricity...
At this moment all lights went out.
I wanted to open the door and get flash lights and help from neighbours. But I was naked remember?
I had to run to the bedroom to put something on, than out of the apartment.
I live on the third floor of an old building. The water was flowing out my door and down the elevator shaft. By the time I got back with a light, 100+ gallons of water were gone through the floor and neigbours from all floors came up to see where the water was coming from.
The ceiling in the apartment downstairs is falling off. It will cost a fortune to fix.
I had to put a 2' black aro in a 70g with discus, the 3' lungfish in a 40g with marbled eels and the ray is still in the almost empty tank.
The tank was 6 months old. I bought it from a guy who is considered responsible.
The silicon seem somehow unglued and the water poured out though a 0.1" - 0.3" opening. OK. But why was the lungfish out of the tank? It is 3" thick.
Did it break the tank? How?
I don't know.
What have I learned? No idea.
