**NEWS FLASH** ONE OF VIPS TANKS CRACK!

[Vip]

I came home today to a filter makeing a rattling sound, so i went into that room where it was comeing from and what did i find? MY 20G LEAKING WATER ON THE FLOOR! it cracked from under the tank and it was already half emty, i judgeing it cracked right when i came home cause i could see the water level dropping, thats how fast it was comeing out! My Red Oscar (tank & pic in sign) didnt seem to mind that it was getting hard to swim just as long as i had his food ready
I grabbed a large tub from out side witch im guessing is about 30g or so, i drained the rest of the water into the tub then put the heater and 2 filter in it as well as gravel and stuff.
In one way it gives me and excuse to buy a 75g for the oscar alone, and then i can seal this tank up and have it as some sort of oddball tank.
But it still sucked

I am so scared to hear these stories, I have no idea what I would if that would happen to me.

Good luck with the clean up!

Wow, try some punctuation. I tried twice to figure out what you were saying, but yikes...


Vip, sorry about the crack! I bet you were feeling really panicky there for a minute. I'll be looking forward to picks of the new tank when you get it up and running!

A leaking tank is the worst! Ugh!
Look on the bright side - a LARGER new tank with happier fish! B)

I think it may read like this

When you got home did the door slam? If a herd of people , with kids, came in and they were in the lounge looking at the salty tank , (when the kids came home from school ) and as kids do run inside slam doors and head straight for the kitchen . Well before their eyes , when the door slammed , was a massive leaking problem , when the tank cracked?

It took me 10 mins on word to sort this out, and I'm dyslexic.
