    Well I guess the title says it all, there is not a drop of water left in there. So I guess the clean up starts. Good excuse to get the 150 gallon going I have in the back room sitting empty.

    Peredhill, I guess I can get some weights on that rock for you now lol.

    Well not sure what happend, but I think when I get the tank lifted off the stand I'm gonna find that it is cracked, the corner seams all look okay and there is absolutley no water in there so the leak must be real low. It was a proper stand that is made for that size tank, but I think the top of it bowed and the center of the tank dropped a bit. but we'll see.

    Lost a mated pair of false percs and a scooter blenny.

    Wow, that sucks. I think I would cry.

    Is the tank under warranty?

    No its a couple years old now. It sucks but life goes on, just feel bad for the fish, it can't hurt the floor or anything so no issues there. But thanks for the support guys.
