I unfortunately have been getting more experience than I cared for when it comes to trying to save livestock on tank disasters. I have personally had 2 tanks leak bad at the bottom seam and have to tear everything down. Then my friend had one of the bottom seams on his first tank leak when he was on vacation and had to try and rescue that one. Then tonight my same friend was out of town with his kids again and he got a call that his 180g tank was empty.:worried2:
He had an equipment failure during a power outage and his tank only had a couple inches of water left. I figured it wasn't the best time to tell him "I told you" on the piece of equipment that failed. He got the call at 5:30 this morning and then called me but I was stuck at work and couldn't make it over to his place until 7 tonight. I was surprised because I was able to find a a lot of stuff still alive in the very small amount of cold water. I found the copper banded butterfly, flame angel, 2 blue hippo tangs, 1 clown, 3 mandarins, 1 scooter blenny, 10 different kinds of shrimp, 3 starfish, 3 urchins, lobster, and a couple pieces of coral that may have a chance.
