My tank sitting over the kitchen sink area leaked and soaked/ruined the hardwood flooring as well as some carpeting beyond the hardwood area. It'll cost me maybe $3500 to dry out the carpeting and perhaps some of the insulation and floorboards underneath. Maybe another $5000 or more if my hardwood flooring starts to warp and needs to be replaced also.
Surprisingly 4 of the 6 A.australe killiefish in the tank survived though the tank was drained completely and remained so for at least 2 days. when I tried to pick up the fish, I found them jumping around. I am no longer at a point in my life when I can afford to pay for such unplanned and expensive repairs to the house. I have taken down this 30gallon tank. I may think about taking down my 75gallon tank as well for fear of similar mishaps. Just wanting to share my troubles with some strangers.
