    Great documentation! I bet it was a great relief when you had everything out of the tank.

    It's sad to see everything happen that way but at least you caught the leak before a major failure happened. And can't wait to see what you get going.

    Great job with the pictures and descriptions. you had me rolling on the floor with the description of the 'niagra falls' from the pond liner folding. Moving aquariums and flooded floors go together like peanut butter & jelly.
    Looking forward to seeing how your new tank setup goes. Best of luck with everything!

    Holy cow!! Good job keeping a level head and thinking everything thoroughly through before doing this. I hope most-everything survives.

    This is simply heartbreaking. I look forward to hearing about your new tank. I hope all your fish and coral survived the tragedy.

    So far so good. I just posted a blog with a bunch of pictures of the livestock today.

    unbelievable. what an incredible, epic article. Something tells me that system of troughs and lighting rack is going to end up as a permanent addition somewhere in your house. Has the time come to turn the garage into a coral propagation facility?

    If the garage wasn't unbearably hot, that would be a possibility. With the new tank, I'd really like to build a nice quarantine system to incorporate in the room, but a friend just suggested I get a coral propagation tank set up to start selling corals to pay some of the supplies I use on a monthly basis. I've never been big on selling corals, as I just wanted them to get bigger. I doubt I sell 10 frags a year.

    Does this make you consider acrylic rather than glass on the next aquarium. The durability is what made me go acrylic. I love the scratch resistance of glass but the idea of inevitable seam failure sealed the deal(so to speak) for me.
