i already had this happen to me, we were in the process of moving out and i left my 29 gal set up (with fish) until after everything was moved out...well accidents happen, a table went through the glass, 29 gallons of water + fish went spilling onto the floor, i lived in the 3rd floor of an apt, and my landlord came upstairs a half hour later saying that someone noticed water leaking into they're apartment on the first floor! Luckily, my boyfriend and the movers where there when it happened and they were able to catch some of the water in whatever was around....the damage to the other apartments was minimal, not enough to pay for damages, but we did give our landlord $50 to get the carpets cleaned...it smelled very FISHY!! So all in all, a potentially disasterous situation, was fairly mild, my poor fish though
3/4 died. Good news though, i upgraded my tank size
Bad news, i'm really nervous to walk by my tank in case of it falling over or something....and i get very angry when commercials show the fish tank getting something smashed into it and everything comes out, thats basically what happened..i not longer think seeing that in commercials is funny!!
