That is what happens when you put a cheap, freshwater aquarium on a cabinet not made for the weight of an aquarium for a few years. Catastrophic failure resulting in a huge mess to clean up.
The funny part is that we weren’t supposed to be at home when it broke. We were supposed to have gone to a family reunion but everyone in our house is sick so we couldn’t go. We were watching TV when all of a sudden POP and then water started pouring out and down the front of the built-in, pooling around the subwoofer and treking toward the rug. Thankfully we have tile floors and my cat-like reflexes which meant that there was very little damage done. Thank goodness we were home because that would have been a huge mess.
Yesterday we replaced it with a new and improved aquarium that is a 90-gallon bow-front tank, stand and cap with a sump filtration system. It is going to be saltwater aquarium. My HH is so proud of it and it looks phenomenal in the entryway.
