Your wife calls you at work and ask, "Why is there water all over the floor in front of the tank?"

I hope it was not a disaster - there have been enough of those this year already.

Tank blew a seal. Thankfully it was the old 77 gal that was due for shut down and transfer to the new 210. I'd been procrastinating, but got forced to do it. Had to frag everything, had a couple huge LPS colonies that are now just a whack of frags.
The only thing I'm worried about is my Nem. Hopefully it'll do ok with the move. Everything else seems ok so far.
A total of about 30-40 gallons went on the floor (pre-finished hardwood). It swelled a wee bit on the wall cuts, but I'm pretty sure when it dries out it'll be fine. Thankfully the ceiling below wasn't finished. All the water found its way to the floor drain. Thankfully it wasn't a total catastrophic failure.

I'm glad it turned out semi-ok! Hopefully the move goes through without a hitch.

OMG
Glad to hear it wasn't a total catastrophe

I was thinking your new tank was making your wife's feet wet
