Wassup Mike. Scared? Hell yeah! I only have a 100 gallon and I still get scared about the fact that it can overflow (wet/dry) or worse case, crack and leak all over my bedroom. The first thing I check when I come home to my apartment is my tank.
Always the first.

In my opinion, if anything creaks, fix every thing that you think might be wrong. Peace of mind has no price especially if it involves your fish and your property. I say reinforce every seam of the tank and make the stand as strong as a fortress. There is no such thing as an overly reinforced stand.

the stand is a monster, its a SMRF, (steel moment resisting frame), all members are HSS 2 x 2 x 3/16". my fears are prob unnecessary, its just going to take me a while to get used to it.

unfortunately i wont be getting used to it for a while, need to find the leak and fix it.
 
:ROFL:I can't sleep at night with my little tanks. Don't know what I would do if I had that size in my house. Every tiny squeak, creak or noise of any kind has me wide awake. But, I have had one tank leak. I want to replace all mine with acrylic. At least then I don't have to worry as much. Probably won't work. Even sleeping pills can't keep me asleep.
 
must get alot of offers for flud insurance.

dont mean to kill ypur joke, but the section of sacramento i live in is on a flood plain, and the house is only 1.5 miles from the confluence of the sacramento and american rivers... no reputable company would give anyone in this area flood insurance!
 
Well, if you're so scared of your tank... Why don't you give it to me?:naughty:
That would solve all of your problems:ROFL:
 
Does flood insurance cover fish tanks breaking? Well I suppose an insurance company would find a way to get out of it. I sure would love to see what a 500 gallon tank looks like. What kind of fish are you going to put in it?
