    Well that's it. I'm out. I don't have much time to explain but I just got home after my apartment complex called me. The bottom of my fish tank cracked and it all dumped out. :eek: It shorted out the power strips so no fire....I'm shaking as I write this.

    Details later but it's a total loss. Once that happened the entire thing collapsed and I have about 5 inches of standing water throughout my entire living room. I just had to tell someone. I'm taking pictures for my renters insurance. Wait until you see this... :-[
