That Murphy fellow can stick his law where the sun don't shine.
Just chilling on the couch suffering thru my seasonal flu and what would you know, the sound of dripping water! Walk into the newly redone fish room to see water leaking from the ceiling onto the brand new countertop, down the brand new cabinets and onto the brand new floor, only thing with water above the fish room is the 90 gal corner tank in my sons room, yup that's what it is, was worried for a second that perhaps it was just the top off bucket leaking but lucky for me it's just a blown seam on one side, spraying water against the wall. Had to know that less than a week after the redo something like this would happen. love it when it's not an easy fix, enough rant, off to spend the night breaking down a tank and cleaning up the mess.

Man I feel for you. Your title forced me to check this thread to make sure it wasn't your giant tank that blew.

Glad it was the giant tank, but that really sucks that the 90g leaked

It was the right hand seam up front, never looked good from the factory, one of the reasons I done like bow tanks, not enough glass area surface to seal properly. Funny it lasted 2 years, least it didn't happen when I was out of town last week, question now is do I replace it or rehome inhabitants?

I feel your pain! I just had my 3 month old sump magically and mysteriously crack on the bottom pain of glass. I'm not looking forward to redoing the drywall or carpet, but I am looking forward to redoing my fish room to allow for room to move.
And yes, Mr Murphy can kiss my butt.

Oy! The thought of one my tanks leaking or breaking a seal or whatever scares the crap out of me. That and velvet.
I got a 90gal sitting here if you want it, probably won't fit your space though.
