Spent the night at my girlfriends house, got a frantic call from my mom at 6am saying my tank had only four inches of water in it. Raced over and managed to save the fish and bio filters, currently sucking the crap out of the carpet to try and save it too.

I was planning to redo that tank at some point... I guess this is a sign. No idea what happened, tank was fine at midnight. There must be a small leak in the frame somewhere.

FML.

Oh man sorry to hear about that bro. I had an air house detach from the pump and drain about 20 gallons all over my floor. Hope you were able to save all the fish and hopefully you were able to save your mom's carpet! Good luck

Oh, man that's a lot of water on the floor. Good luck
 
Quick question... The airline that drained my tank didnt have a check valve. If it did, would it have stopped 70 gallons of water???

Sure would've. But the airline can also pop off the check valve. I like to put a dab of super glue on them at assembly.
