Disaster!, tragedy, And work work work.

I was waken up at about six by my dad and he said the tank had a leak i was like ok i get all the water fish etc... out and take it back to the shop so they can fix it up big deal!i was rubbing my eyes when i got down from my hammock and walked three paces out of my room. splash! the living room and dining room was under water i didnt know what to do whith so much water i was lost. and still feeling very sleepy. thankfully almost half the water was still in the tank so only about 17 gallons was on the floor that may not seem like much but i can tell you i had a lot of work ahead of me! all the fish was still alive and i dumped them into one of the tanks with one of the filters i got all the plants rocks and driftwood out and most of the sand. then i took the tank off its wet stand, outside and the reall work began i soaked up a little bit of water at a time with a floor rag and squeezed the water into a bucket after a while of the fan evaporating some of it and the rest of the family inventing ingenious was to take care of the water most of it was done. and i am happy to say that nothing has been damaged (thankfull the floors are suramic (sp?) ) and all the fish are alive!

I know someone who gave up fishkeeping when a tank burst in his kitchen (but it was 200g)
oh and its ceramic

Whoa, how are the fish doing now? Good catch, too bad about your floors, hopefully once it's done drying damage is minimal.
