Tank crash.... in a matter of speaking...

[Aurizzle]

I got home from work today and sat and admired my new anemone and coral that I had put in my tank a day ago, and relaxing watching the fish swim around the tank. I made supper and started watching a movie. About an hour into the movie i feel something wet on my feet. I look at the tank only to see the bottom rim leaking all around the front. I frantically emptied my live rock, fish, and anemone and coral into a 26 gal bucket with half my water and began to empty the tank.

Lets just say its been a fun night. Already called into work and am going to try and find a cheap stand / tank tomorrow morning to start my set up all over again...

Sigh...

Thanks a bunch!

omarkattan, I thank you for your kindness but I just got back from picking up a 75 rr tank and stand for $200 from Krystal Clear in Auburn. I need to wait for the girlfriend to wake up to lug it up the stairs, but hopefully I'll be up and running by the end of the day.
