Hello everyone,
it has bin some time now since i last posted, and have gotten back into my tanks upkeep. All is well there.except Due to the cold weather and a busted water pipe i ran into a problem. The entire room in which the tank sits was flooded (at it was not the tank this time :] ) with 5 or 6 inches of water from about 2 to 8 hours.
I opened the doors to what seemed like pool full of water, nephews said i had a cool indoor pool everthing has bin cleaned and dried . Bin a few weeks snice then , fan dried the stand and the stands footing is dry.
My question is if the stands pine wood footing got water logged will it colaspe/cavein over time, should i replace it ???
lt looks good and has not peeled or warped.

Wood is real forgiving when it comes to water just check that all the joints are closed and have not cracked from swelling, the main issue is mold and insect pest.
