Yeah, sounds like it could have been a huge disaster. If it was leaking from the bottom, are you still able to use the tank??
I estimate that when my overflow cracked, it ended up leaking about 10-15 gallons on the floor before it could be stopped. The damage from 10-15 gallons scares me. I had to redo about 50 SQ feet of floor as well as replace baseboard and some drywall. I can't imagine what 150G would do if my tank had drained
Worst part is, so far insurance will not even consider it, they claim that the plumbing being used for an aquarium basically voids any insurance I had for the actual aquarium. I think they are basically saying what I did with a sump, plumbing, ect. was not in the scope of a 'normal' aquarium and the risks involved.
Good luck with rethinking everything.
