Reminds me of a 190 gallon Fresh Water tank that had a catastrophic failure here in town 9 years ago it was determined that the stand which was bought from the manufacturer was defective however it took the fellow 2 years of legal wrangling to get the manufacturer to admit it was a defect. In the settlement he got financial compensation and a brand new tank and stand free of charge from the manufacturer.
In the mean time insurance covered most of the damage but it put a huge strain on his relationship with his GF at the time fortunately they mended fences and had a great wedding 4 yrs ago and now they have two 160 gallon FW tanks and 3 kids and way too many dogs.
