I have read about other people having tanks crack and flood the whole place but I never thought it would happen to me - until today. I had just finished doing a water change on two tanks, the 320 g and the 165 g, and I had just sat down on the couch to relax when heard a popping and whooshing sound. What the heck is that? The 60 g sump had cracked on the back panel and was making a water fall onto the floor! 
What a mess! It's a good thing I had a shop vac handy or it could of really messed up the carpet. I am running two dehumidifiers at once in the fish room, that should take care of the moisture eventually. 
What a bummer. The sump was a wet/dry for the 320 g fw predator tank. The tank has 2 motoro rays, a jardini and a tiger dat. Luckily, I had just set up 3 feet of air stones with a HiBlow 80 air pump. There is also a hydor sponge filter with a MJ1200 ph and a Fluval 404 for filtration, so I should be okay as long as I watch the ammonia and nitrates.
Now I'm wondering if I should fix the sump, get a new one, or buy an Eheim cannister filter (which doesn't explode). What would you guys suggest?
