I think that's all of our fears. That and the tank catching on fire and setting the rest of the house on fire... or the electricity being cut off for a prolonged period of time... lol... that's a lot of things that can happen. This is one of those things that you just don't expect when it comes to aquaria... worms burrowing through your silicone.
Watch this thread spark an interest in Acrylic aquariums. LOL!
