Ok long story.. but hey in a way its funny, but it just wasn't at the time.. :)
Ok well i've been having my tank set up for around a month now, only had plecos in it since i was wanting to cycle my tank, and thats the only fish i could think of that would go ok with my cichlids that i would eventually add in later.. Well the day was going good, had just unpluged everything off the tank because the power strip that i was useing stoped working for some reason and i was going to the store later that day to get a new one along with some fish.. well i was sitting at my pc with my head phones on and my pc is in the same room as my tank.. well i was listening to a bjork song, and all of a sudden a heard water, well i didn't remember the sound of water being in that song, but hey its bjork, *you can never tell with her*... well i waited a second and it got loader so i turned around and a 4 foot streem of water was shooting out my tank, then i noticed that the right end of the tank that was leaking, was because the seem of the tank was coming unglued.. So i jumped up and grabed onto it and held it shut, well the longer i waited, and more the glue was letting go.. I couldn't get let it go because every type of electronic equipment, including the pc was in there, along with the new scanner and printer lying on the floor.. to make it even worse the area that it was pooring was where the power strip "was", so it was a good thing i had taken it off early or i wouldn't be here telling you this story.. lol
well to make it even worse "as if it could get worse", i soon found out that my dad along with everyone else that was home at the time was not hearing my screams for help. And believe me i was screaming... I was getting REALLY tired and believe me holding togeather a 55g tank togeather isn't the easyist, you litterally have to hold all your body weight agenced it.. well needless to say i was standing there holding the tank togeather screaming my butt off for, "45 minutes", and thats not being dramatic, i had a clock in that room and for some reason i couldn't take my eyes off of it the hole time... luckly my dad came in to use the bath room and heard my horse voice trying to scream.. by thin i could barly talk little lown scream.. but he heard me kick the wall a few times since i couldn't say anything by thin.. and we got a half a roll of duct tape around it and it held it togeather long enough for us to get a hose pipe into the room to pump the water out... And that was yesterday.... and i'm as sore as all getout right now... and i can barly talk.. well thats my story.. "read it".. "tell it", "forget about it"...
thanks for listening.. :) :D
