Whoa.... even though I knew it was coming, the video still made my jaw drop.

Gives me flashback of the night my tank burst. Every tank owner and LFS needs a wet vac for sure!

Got one on black friday, heck of a deal. :D

Hoping I'll never need it, but I feel a little better having it.

I don't know if I would even think to use th wet vac. I'd probably just sit and stare. I used to use my carpet cleaner a lot at the other house though :)

when there's a couple of inches standing on the wood floors you'll use whatever: brooming it out the front door, wet vacs, etc.
Hope it never happens to anybody one here :)

D*mn, I have actually been to that store... I am amazed at simply how fast all of the water left the tank. Looks like some type of flaw in the acrylic or in the construction... I didn't see anything actually hit the tank.
