Did anyone else have water sloshing out of the tank in So Cal? The quake was really rollie here in Huntington Beach and lasted quite awhile. The rolls got a Tsunami going in my fishtank and I had water on the floor and all down the tank and stand. All is well other than that. It wasn't close to falling over though. Hope everyone is well.

Happy Easter!

I was actually in a fish store in West Hollywood when it happened...It was amazing...all the tanks suddenly had precisely tuned wave makers in them lol.

Upgraded to a 7.2... I'm down in south Orange County and not one drop of water came out of my tanks! The best natural wave motion I've ever seen in my tank though!!!

Was in San Diego. Strongest I've been in. LFS had a tank with water at the half way point and lost power to the tank!

What kind of surface are the reefers that had water spill over keeping their tanks on? Mine is on carpet, which I would think has a little more give... could that be the reason I have all of the water still in the tank instead of on the floor????

Heck, they had water sloshing out of the giant tanks at Sea World!!

Up here in Washington, we heard about it, as soon as it happened, from a friend in Cookamunga (I'm sure I spelled that wrong!!)

Glad to hear, errr not hear, of any tank failures yet.

Ugh. I need to check my tank. I live in L.A. and was away for about a day.
