I was hauling my fish, my stand, and my 125g aquarium along with some other things. I got lucky! Well, considering... My axle on my trailer broke at the hub. So.. the trailer hit the ground hard and I had t drag it off of a major highway. Lucky for me, the fish didn't get jumped out or split. Also, the 125 was safe. The molding took a beating and cracked but not the glass. I was transporting the tank inside the stand. I guess the wood cushioned just right. I think it worked out a lot like a box crate when the trailer was hitting the ground. Don't know how the trailer didn't just get wild on me and cause more problems or just not break. Just glad my fish and tank made it!
 
Yikes. We were on our way back from Florida once and the trailer came off of the ball. That got sketchy real fast.

And to think not everyone uses chains when towing...
 
I had the fish in buckets with aerators. I'm just now back online. I had put a lot on back burner to finish up this situation and get moved in. Unfortunately, the extra hassle turned into extra failure. I couldn't get the water quality back fast enough so all but the pleco and a tin foil barb died. Worst move ever.... It's been two months and directv still hasn't put up a dish.... I'm glad its finally going to be over soon but dammit I wish I'd have had a tap out before that happenned. I could have donated the fish or something besides lose them in a bucket. Oh well....
 
what did he lose?
