it was a sixfoot 100g (basically a 125 minus 4" of height). canopy door dropped and the bottom broke out.
https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/285695/and-you-thought-you-had-a-bad-tank-day the tank was coming along great at that point. No electrical damage besides replacing the wall socket that got wet. my son keeps waiting for the current 30g to break lol.

YES...these dreams come from 3 sources...you are compulsive and have nothing else on your mind but the tank and what could go wrong...a nagging thought in the back of your mind because subconsciously there is a reason to worry and you just can't put your finger on it... Looking at other peoples disasters and freaking out so bad you dream about it happening to you.
So analyze where the dream is coming from and take it from there. I spend way too much time on this site, I care so much when people have problems it gave me bad dreams. I have a 90g too

This is amazing. I had that very dream last night. In my dream though it all drained through the floor joists to another non existant reef tank that was below. Then the floor magically dried on its own.

I thankfully have not had a bad dream about my 125, but I did for my 29gal when it was up. Basically for whatever reason, my roommate accidentally pushed a shopping cart into the tank and the handle busted the tank, and he just let it sit empty. I got home and tried fitting everything into the sump.
How or why a shopping cart was in our living room is beyond me.

That is a good dream, and a tank just below...in my dream I am trying franticly to save the flopping fish...I only manage to save one or two and all the others die

It happened to my friend's 100 gallon at about 3am. He didn't lose any fish and only about half the coral. It was very expensive having 75 gallons of salt water drain on his carpet.
