KrazyKuch's & Michika's 180Gal Tank Build

[i have crabs]

hopefully insurance will pay for your new fish room, i think my insurance dosnt cover that for some reason but im shure it depends on why it happened

What the heck?? Weird. Sorry to hear.

If your stand is solid wood I don't think there's a problem other than it's wet. If it was say MDF or something yeah you'd have a problem but 2x4's and stuff .. Speaking from experience anyhow, I can say 2x4's and 2x3's and plywood can get pretty darn wet and there's no structural concern other than maybe screws may start to rust.

1+ on the 2x4 being ok after being soaked ... I've become quite competent in soaking my stand and no ill effects to date.

Your having quite the run of bad luck, hope 2009 brings better luck your way. I'm quite envious of your big tank plans; maybe this is all a sign that you need to start that build...

Let's hope it's the City's problem, or if your problem, an insured one. I can't believe the run of bad luck you've had.
