that sucks. what did you do with your tanks? any damage?

no damage but it splashed a lil bit. kinda makes me worried if a bigger earthquake happens. afraid my tank might tip over and break or something.
 
that would mean u need to brace the stand. i prayed a big one does not come.
 
Theres no 4.4 shaker that is going to wake my *** up at 4:04 am.... I wouldnt even feel a quake that small if I was awake...
 
I was awake it was a pretty good jolt but prolly magnified by all the junk, from reorganizing my room, that rattled.

My big tanks prolly didn't even budge, the water prolly had enough dampening capacity and my diy stands are pretty overbuilt solid, only worried slightly about my 60g in my room on the store bought open stand that has a slight wobble to it I may brace it now lol.

Small earthquakes release the energy otherwise being built up for a big one. If a big one hits straps won't make a lick of difference if the wall falls lol.
 
The 4.4 wasn't that bad just scared the crap out of my pacu.and famliy.almost had a heart attack in thier going crazy.The equake maid me stay up till 12:00pm.waiting for after shock
