Well, had a siphon siphon around 8 gallons of water onto floor and under the stand. Tank had to be drained and moved. Rock is in buckets with heaters and pumps. Kind of a blessing in disguise as I can now go bare bottom. All live stock is in holding tanks.


Can I Just sit rocks on the bottom glass? If not, what do I use?

Did you lose anything also hopefully that was not on carpet.

No I didn’t lose anything but it was on carpet. Luckily my carpet had a barrier to block it from subfloor. We shop vac’d the water and shampooed the carpet. It was close though.

Well here's the deal, my current tank is not ideal for maintenance. It is very deep. I've decided to keep my stand and downgrade to a 10-20 gallon. This will also allow me to keep more than just softies! I think this is the best decision for me to continue reefing long term.
