My wife moved my tank...

Just as a test.....Why don't you dump her pocket book out on the floor, and break her curling iron? Then see how that goes for you.

Glad you’re transferring tanks.

Some of the commenters = Yikes! Who would threaten a divorce over a < $2,000 mistake? That’s ridiculous.

Bright side , excuse for a bigger tank...

There is the optimistic one among us!

All these people telling you to divorce your wife over a small aquarium must have terrible relationships. I know some of them are joking but still. Support your wife, it sounds like she was doing well in her mind, grit through it like men are supposed to, and move on.

In the end, fish tanks are easy to replace. A partner through this life and the next, not so much!

This is a very selfish hobby. Crap happens. Good luck dude! Enjoy life.

Well said. I also think most are joking. Anyone who gets divorced over any fish tank has their priorities messed up. Everyone looses in a divorce.

Just dragged it

I don't know if this comment will help or not, but you mentioned 'salt creep' in the area of the leak - which usually doesn't just occur within hours, i.e. I wonder if it was going to leak anyway. In any case, so sorry to hear - it must be a total mess in multiple ways!

Because I'm an adult.

I made it to the salt creeping seam about 12 hours after she moved it. Somehow there was a small something between the stand and the floor that put it about 4mm out of level. It stresses the seam over night. It was, I believe on the cusp of a complete blowout because of the twist/torque applied at the corners. After I drained it down I saw the on the opposite corner, it was doing the same.


No more dead tank talk. I'm moving on to life.

Nano Build - Bedside nano / side table

Long story short. My wife moved my 6-7 year old IM 14 peninsula. She didn't level it. 12 hours later I found out when I noticed an odd seam. The death thread is located here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-wife-moved-my-tank.1016795/ I'm abandoning that thread. The tank is at the curb...

The rational minds prevail lol. Can’t change the past, just have a new learning experience. Good for you

Didn't see any irrational minds. Saw a couple of humorous posts though

I have won in a divorce (no kids). I did not realize it at the time, but it was a BIG win. Expensive too, but worth every penny!
