    I hope that everybody's tank in so cal survived this mornings quake.
    I wish I had a picture of me standing in front of my 120 gal trying to stop the sloshing. Scary moment but everything is ok, just a little water on the floor and some nervous fish

    I rushed home from work to check out my tank. Everything was fine, my fish were happy to get a nice snack.

    Not to freak you guys out, but my tank survived the Paso Robles earthquake actually move about 1/4" on the stand. About a week later the bottom gave out, I guess there was a crack that just split. No leaking just 60 gallons of reef on the floor in seconds had to rip out the carpet because it got ripe real quick. Just do a good inspection and hope all is well. I live in So Cal for 30 years- Thats a lot of quakes.
