I don't know if this is thre right place for this, but I have heard from some on the net that bowfront tanks tend to fail more often than the rectangular ones.
I mentioned this to my local big al's and they said the only tank they have had a problem with was a few 46g bows (not sure which manufacturer)
two days later their 92 corner bow burst a seam.
I think I jinxed it. seriously..
so sorry about your awesome discus ..
good luck with repairing the water damage.
I don't know what to say, other than sorry..

I would personally contact All Glass and have them issue a check for your losses because there 100% liable for this. My buddy owns a pet store and this is not the first time I heard of a bow front tank leaking. Any good aquarium manufacture would cover you for you loss of live stock, filters and heaters and also damage to property; I know perfecto does.

That's my dad's tank...
Mine are still running fine atm
but like 1-2 years ago, I had the same tradegy, a 40G tank cracked overnight and lost all my fish >.<
That's bloody awful. I am very sorry for the loss of fish and property. I had a 180g with a seam that opened up one day. I was lucky. I heard the water gushing. I had the tank set up for 2 years. I saved all of the fish but lost carpet, padding, a couch, a bunch of books. I had water damage on my pool table. However my insurance company, State Farm, replaced the carpet, padding and couch. They wouldn't work with me on the books but I feel fortunate. I hope you get some insurance to help you as well.
Not all sorrow.. at least we saved $200 xD
During the weekend, we offered $200 for two 4" golden snakeskin discus at a lfs, but the manager insisted $230. Good thing that didn't go thru or it will be another $200 loss >.>
Shouldve bought lottery 649 tonight...
Jackpot is $39 million =.= keep forgetting to buy

the 46G bowfront tank - All Glass Aquarium too!
