54 gallon looks funny -- all the plants flopped over, filter just a few gurgles of water coming out. Takes me a few seconds to fully realize the tank is empty. Scream!
No water on the floor. Quick try to turn everything off - where is the leak?
Instinct is to throw fish into the cycling 40 g, but hubby is smarter and says wait I have water ready -- fish seem to all be in puddles inthe tank. He adds water while we try to drain the 40 (there is still some ammonia we have been adding)
Find the water is all over the kitchen floor.
Mad dash of water change in the 40, get the filter from the 54 on the 40, try to get all the flopping fish into water -- finally decide with my hands less stressfull to fish than trying to get them with the net.
One of our big kubs was burned by the heater
Alos lost a cardinal and the pleco. I am still shaking and crying. I hope all the other guys make it. Have stuck a lot of the decor, rocks plants from the 54 into the 40 wth the fish. there is a crack in the bottomof the 54. the engineering eval will come later.
ugh.
oh our poor fish!!!!
