That must have been a wtf moment for the fish, imagine your entire world just collapses downwards unexpectedly.
We call that a sinkhole 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My dad kitchen caught on fire and the water was so hot one fish jumped out my dad was able to save it
Yes just imagine Japan in August of 1945..👀
@@sistahspeaks9816 did he roast it?
POV: you spent almost the entire video looking for the tank 😭🌚
And fish in the tank
🤣
yessss I did lol
LMAOOOOOO I DID TOO 😂🤣😂🤣
There's literally only one spot it could be?
Who else kept hunting round the room like a 'spot the difference' looking for the fish tank then BoooOOO000M.🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely me! I couldn't find the fish tank, until the moment it busted.

Man. I know the feeling of watching your fish on the ground, flailing. It's a horrible feeling. Movers dumped my 30 tall out into my yard which had 3 cori doras, 4 golden barbs, 1 clown loach (all over 4 years old), and many (generationss of) snails thriving, peacefully, inside.
I swung by after work and went into the house. As I was walking through the now empty place I once laid my head- I realized the tank was gone. It was supposed to be the last to go, and I was going to transfer my fish and move it.
I felt instant panic, and went out the front door, looking anywhere I hadn't, for my tank. There it was on the ground, in my front yard, with about 2 inches of murky ass water and all my substrate everywhere...all the live plants were uprooted and in disarray. I kept saying, "where are my fish?!" over and over. I got on my knees to look for them in the last bit of water in the tank and saw one cori, and that was it. The clown loach, and 2 cori as well as the other 3 golden barbs was on the ground, nearly dead. I was livid, and crying. I was so fucking mad. All but 4 of the fish died. I hate thinking about how I wasn't even going to go by there, but I had a terrible feeling that something careless could happen to our things with the movers. I also hate that I was right.
That’s absolutely terrible, did you call the movers to complain and yell at them?
Sadly if you were being evicted they don’t give a sht most the time, but if you paid those movers and they didn’t listen (shouldn’t even have to tell someone to leave a fishtank alone with water still in it) then you should really try to take this to court or something. If that’s too much than just spam their business page with fake reviews 😂😂😂
The fact they picked up a full aquarium and carried it without fear of it bursting in their hands due to the weight shift and the frame no longer having equal support is proof enough they were unqualified to move an aquarium. I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope the business learned their lesson, but chances are…. :-(
@@Thewingman1337 I was there, in their faces. I was very ugly to them- cussed them out. Never acted so out of character in my entire life.
@@LoveRupee good, I’m glad you did. That’s very terrible on their part
New fear unlocked. I have a 150 gallon tank
As someone with two fish tanks, this is my worst nightmare, but in my case i hope it's pretty unlikely to happen because my tanks are no more than a year old
His tank was new. But maybe it been custom wavy makes a difference. Ive no clue about any of this i just read it in the info
Please make sure you have home insurance. Just in case.
Yeah you should be good. And as long as it was only used as a fish tanks. I had one that my son used for a snake inclosure and then I gave it to a friend and she used it for about 6 months and she noticed the seal started leaking and luckily she seen and removed the fish and got a new tank. I think the heat from my sons heat lamp weakened the seal. But that’s just my guess.
This is every fish hobbyists worst nightmare. Rest assured most failures result in leaks not explosions. Just gotta hope you're home to catch the leak or the failure is high up so it doesn't empty buy most will happen low where the most water pressure is.
@@zuritasworld never used them for anything but fish enclosures
It could've been three things, it was an old reptile tank and the heat lamp from the previous owner wore out the silicone/glue, 2. The tank had heavy decor rocks / heavy peice of wood thats soaked up the water, or simply to much decoration, 3. the tank already had a crack, and the pressure from the water simply busted it, 4. Your fish usually die before this step, but heat could've been too high or introduced way to fast, and expanded the glass which caused it to break! Idk what do you guys think caused it?
number 5. teenager next door shot a bb gun through an open window that was next to the tank.
😂😂😂😂😂
I just think someone wanted out.
Jerome Powell
Of one of the fish had taco bell and farted creating tidal waves that exterminated all life
This also can be from stress from a non leveled tank. Always check to see if your tank with stand is even all the way around.
This happened to us. The stand had no support in the back of it, tank exploded
Should really be putting a Mats under your tanks
Nope. Even that’ll cause a small leak unless you have it REALLY unlevel. Like you’d had to have 10inches of difference or more for the glass to explode. My tank use to be about an inch higher on one side and it made me paranoid all the time. I now have it on the floor in a room I only use for tanks. Feel much better with it down there😂 still a little bit unlevel but only by a few CM’s maybe.
Both my tanks are off level by about an inch and I’ve had no issues, yet.
@@visioncorp5228 Mainly effects glass tanks, but if they are off enough, the bottom glass will crack, I seen and had it happen.
World’s chillest dog, doesn’t even get off the couch!😂
Scaredy-cat
they just got back from the vet after getting hit by a car i think
There was a dog?
Edit: holy crap, there was a dog!
I didn’t even notice there was a dog lmao
there could have been a guy in a monkey costume walking around and i wouldnt have notice...
This video gets recommended to me every couple months. It never disappoints. This is every fish keepers worst nightmare.
I keep looking back at my 20 gallon XD
As a fish hobbyist it hurt watching this. My biggest fear. Because of this i put my tank in my front living room space that has sealed tile and made it so that if the tank was to burst it will flow towards the front door and out of the house
That was very smart!!! Otherwise the damage could cost thousands if it was hardwood or even with carpet it would cost a pretty penny.
The description says there were no fish in the tank
@@HisLady1022 i wasn't referring to any fish. Just tank ruptures in general. They really suck especially when you have a 100 gallon + tank.
Very smart 😌
I think the main thing is is with larger tanks making sure they are level and if you buy a used tank making sure to reseal the silicone. I've read somewhere that you should reseal your tanks every 10 years. This is a smart move though.
This is why you *DO NOT* buy used aquariums especially if they had reptiles in them. Turtles and lizards love to chew on the silicon that holds tanks together. Hence why I buy all of my tanks at the dollar per gallon sales at petco.
Is that a real thing
@@GARBO96 I mean, if you notice chew marks on silicone just reseal it. It really just depends on the damage that's done. A lot of my tanks were used (reptile, hamsters, gerbils, etc.,) and I've never had any issues like this.
Sadly the dollar gallon sale no longer exists and probably won’t come back. It’s not 30% sale. Sometimes 50%.
You can buy used aquariums, but if you don’t know EXACTLY what was in it and the temp it was stored at. (Most important as you won’t see signs like chewing, and it’ll be too late by the time you know.) You need to reseal it. It’s pretty easy to reseal.
@@UponParadiseMusic I bought 2 tanks yesterday at Petco for 50% off.
You don't know what caused the tank to break.
That’s terrible omg… imagine the glass everywhere, the fish slowly dying from no water, n the flood damage. :(
if it makes you feel better, considering how fast they acted, they were probably able to get the fish into buckets safely, if there was enough water for the buckets to fill a little for them that is
They were in bare feet too
Who gives a shit about the fish lmao. It's the repair costs of the house that matter.
@@matteoabad3129 I wanna think that he does. Thats why he ran to the bathroom to grab some container to put water in to return and put the fish in
Chuck aload of bedsheets and towels down asap , move furniture outside asap , before the water soaks on , dehumidifier, will be back to normal in days
The dogs like, "You guys take care of it. I ain't getting down in that water!"
I’m just glad there was no little baby or kid around the tank when that happened !!!!
This breaks my heart for the little fishies!!!
Fish stays singular... even when it's plural
Heat light might of warmed the glass to much then it expanded and broke, the guy got no shirt or pants on so it could be a warm day
@@Unknowingly545when a guy has no shirt or pants in a room with a woman doesn't necessarily mean it's a hot day... 😏

@@josephastier7421 aww yea

Not if I was constantly being recorded on video.
Wow. That flood damage probably cost them a fortune.
Just the insurance deductible
Omg
@sberry55 a lot of them
@sberry55 I would say the majority lol
Not really its just water and their both home a quick clean up and nothing should really get damaged other than maybe a few unfortunate electronics everyone thinks for some reason you get a lil water under your baseboards and what not that you've gotta get it all torn out and replaced which does happen but when your there during the accident and clean it up quickly theres not gonna be any structural damages that stuff comes from prolonged periods of time where water is leaking in 1 area and the wood absorbs it all and begins to rot as it drys and collects water through time a lil water getting into the walls isn't going to need any fixing its literally just a lil water
Acrylic tank? They are known to explode after they are "miss handled", ie direct sun light, construction of stand, twisting of tank, over-heated when dry, etc. Also "wavey" tanks, are well known that, they can't be built to take stresses of water pressure. ( from a couple of clients that I now have) From years of experience, glass aquariums will start with a slow leak...never have one exploding, giving you time to save your fish and saving you from the insurance claim.
Thank you for the advice !
Even the dog had a WTF moment and was so shocked he just stared!!😅😂😂😂😂
The dog hopped up like “wtf”
The way he rubbed his head was immediate stress...😅
lol
I can hear him think: "Holy shit, holy shit!!" 😂
I know he was rushing for a bucket or something to try and save his fish
Imagine being close and looking at the tank when something like that happens.
Samuel Jackson Deep Blue Sea moment for sure
I know imagine kids playing by there it would be so bad
you'd get washed away
Me: Stared at the tank for 5 seconds. It explodes.
Me, then trying to lift the objects around with cosmic Powers.
Well if you're unlucky, you'll get slashed or pierced .. i was however, lucky 😆 a 100gallon tank exploded just right beside me.. right before that happen, i was reading the Wikipedia on my phone ,so i moved a bit on the opposite side of the tank to get comfortable, just a little bit ,so i decided to read some more before going to sleep, then a loud explosion can be heard at exactly 3:47am..
my best friend arose from her sleep and screamed but rather calmly which made me laugh hysterically😂 because she's that cool headed,calm and quiet type,you can rarely see her even flinched.. she was confused af 😂 i told her our tank just exploded and I don't want to move because i got glasses shards behind me and some on top of me.. only a few scratches nothing major, one of the the shards pierced my pants around upper thigh area ,my pants was pinned into the mattress, i was lucky otherwise my ass would be torn ,a huge piece of glass nearly had my throat 😬 then we got a huge mess ,a pool of mess to cleanup.. the room was totally flooded, with all the fishes, sands ,stones and our stuff 🥲
That dog was like "the f#$k?".
Second later like "meh". 😂
The best way to prevent this is to always give 6 inches of space from the top . It will allow pressure to not build to the maximum tank allowance ..
Theure ment to be filled to the top... this happens from an uneven floor and the tank being tweaked
Lmfaooo!! The way he got up and pranced through the water in the floor so fast 🤣
With buttcrack nearly exposed.
There’s glass in it
@@i.l6916 Lmfaooo… still looked funny 😆
@@Eeveedelasirena I would run exactly the same even faster. i love my puffers. i don't care what i look like when i run at that moment to safe them
Running to the electrical box is not funny that’s exactly a way to die quickly if there was something with electricity exposed on the floor
The dog was like "bruh, I didn't do it I swear."
I like that her man jumped up and sprung into action. My ex would’ve just sat there and said “well what do I do George?” Scratching his head smh lol
Your ex? Did you take him to see the rabbits? ;)
Bro that description. This mans dog got hit by a car then this happens. What a fucking day.
The landlord said... your outttt of here, and no deposit back at all, stated in your lease no pets at alllllll 😂😂😂
I had this happen with a small tank, the whole front shattered. It was both good and bad that the tank was in my bedroom and I had another one in there too. I jumped straight out of bed at the sound and just started grabbing fish off the floor and tossing them into the other tank to save them. It was such a mess but the fish made it.
That is just insane....I keep watching it over and over like something's gonna change🤦🏾♀️🤣
Same thing happened to me decades ago. Everything, but EVERYTHING, was floating around in my flat for about 20 minutes. Still see the funny side of it😂😂😂
Mold: allow me to introduce myself
Other fish: told you roldy to not fart that hard!
Omg that poor fish! You can see the fish on the wood (left side)
where I didn't see it
@@cameroncarter1739 right under the step ladder
🤭🥴😔
There was enough water on the floor that it was actually swimming 😂
Nemo was trying to get away
Fish tanks should never be by windows... this is one of the reasons, but the other is because it is not good for the fish. Being by the window especially in climates that are always changing temp or are colder. I takes the water temp go up & down.
Another good reason is sunlight promotes algae growth and you will have to clean your tank a lot more
This happened to my tv stand before. It was over the vent and I guess going from hot to cold over the years made the glass explode
Can't imagine the violent sound it might have created
Plus you can be hurt by glass explosion if you are close.
With that bright ass light! Its the birth of aquaman
Thats not something you think about is a fish tank blowing up....haha
That’s why you should buy an acrylic fish tank. It’s all one piece of plastic. There is only one seam where the two ends of the acrylic join together. Then the two ends are chemically welded together. Acrylic is stronger than glass and won’t shatter if cracked.
Search acrylic tanks exploding you might be surprised and delete your comment
Acrylic is not stronger than glass
Usually during earthquakes Acrylic goes first. Glass won't. Probably that explains why glass tanks are popular in Japan
Would be nice but they are sooooo expensive!
@@joegrone9671 OfferUp
It's good they were home and were able to be there right when it broke. Some of the fish could have been saved.
Yikes! I had a 120 gal tank once, with some very kool, but expensive fish, etc. I would've freaked!! This is too bad.
If you have a bigger tank make sure it’s leveled and try to switch it out after around 7 years, because the softeners in the silicone will decay and the silicone will become porous, which leads to leaking or even bursting.
Thank you for the tip!
This is why I always add more epoxy to the joints on any tank I get, new or not I add more glue to the joints. Rimless tanks are notorious for this. Always get a rimmed tank.
I had this happen with a 120 gallon. Its terrifying going from relaxing to that sheer amount of water on the floor
Was this long ago? And what caused it?
We're you able to save any of the fish?

Nooo I have a 40 gallon I can’t imagine a 120 gallon 😭
...why does it look like she's counting down the seconds till the explosion...😆✌️
Noticed the intensity building in her countdown too lol..
Love how their dog stays calm and just sat still, as in...it's over now, you can come back.
No, he's saying, I told you that would happen, who the F*** wants to swim in water all day.
he was just done with everything lol... they said that he had just got back from the vet because he was hit by a car.

It's the guy standing up and holding his head in disbelief that gets me 😂😂 it's too real lmao. Hope the fishies were okay
i like how even the dog jumped up and was "WTF?" lol
I could feel the tension in that room. The fish tank didn't have a chance.
Every aquarist worst nightmare! Ouch!!!
I have an 80 gallon tank with a 20-something year old turtle named Curly. I’ve had the tank for 17 years & my friend who I bought it from had it for a good 10 years before that! It’s my most prized possession, I always cringe at the thought of something like this happening!!
Redo the silicone with fish safe silicone and also don't put decor in it unless your turtle absolutely needs it
The seal is supposed to be replaced after so many years. 7 I think, but I'm not sure.
You should reseal the silicone every 10 years to ensure it doesn't burst!
If this tank is manufactured in germany, the seal would least round about 20 years under guranteed. But all above? Uff... Please, replace the silicon with fish safe silicon. This Tankis a time bomb and could leak at any time or even worse like side rips.
Too much gravel pressing on the sides. Update: after reading details, custom wavy tanks have unbalanced pressures to begin with, and being dry for a long time compromised the silicone seal. My best guess for a catastrophic failure. Hope the pup is ok.
The fish are definitely not OK 😔
This happened to me once. But it was the bottom that exploded. We heard a loud pop and I thought someone threw something at our glass screen door. I looked outside, didn’t see anything and when I turned around I saw the water everywhere. Saved all the fish. Didn’t save the hardwood floors.
For me it was my own fault. My 200L tank (52 gallon) chipped a little in the bottom right corner while moving houses. I had it inspected by a local aquarium seller/builder and he said he was 99.9% sure it would be just fine and that he'd seen way worse cases last for decades.
Well, four months later while I'm watching Avengers End Game with my friend we both hear a "TICK", like a small pebble thrown at a window. But from inside the room. I immediately think "oh shit, the tank" and just moments later I see a crack just spreading along the side panel, water oozing through it. Safe to say that movie night turned into a night of madly rushing 10l buckets of water to the bathroom while also putting out towels, blankets and paper to stop the water from ruining everything. We drained the tank in about 15 minutes and saved everything except my living room rug. The poor fish didn't survive in the bucket over night either... That was my last tank. Never again.
Imagine one of them hates the fish tank. This would be a dagger to that argument
I can just imagine the cleanup...ugh...and the fishy odor on all that fabric, smh...
Bruh I have horrible dreams like this where I see my fish tank has exploded and I have to find a cup to scoop up my poor fishy children so they don't die. Freaking nightmare
It's about to be a long sleepless night.
Why did I watch this? What a great way to give myself a days worth of anxiety. It would be awful to lose my fish like this, especially the oldest as he’s a rescue.
Imagine this happened while they was gone 👀
The dog did it. Just look at how calm he/she is throughout the whole thing.
Hope they were able to save some of the fish 😢
*what*
I hope the doggo is okay. He was just a little jealous.
This is my worst nightmare. I literally have anxiety at night about this
Thanks to this video, I look at my tank in anxiety too
Same here
I have anxiety but in the morning from this...
LMFAOOO the dog in the couch is such a good boy, he ain’t even move🤣
You can tell the guy was genuinely concerned for his fish. Hopefully he had time to fill a bucket up and save his fish.
I hope they were able to save some of the fish
Finally a guy that doesnt scare off but deals with it instantly
This happened to me once, while filling a massive tank in my hallway. It happened because we forgot to place foam underneath the tank, between the glass and the stand. It was almost full and wow was that a huge mess! Thankfully the fish were not in it yet and now I am vigilant with ensuring all my tanks have a foam base underneath, to level it out.
Neighbors downstairs would love to see this video as well. Thanks for sharing.
My 40 gallon tank did this😭I cried so hard... I had had my fish for years 🥺
How your fist last soo long
@@alexvaldez47 depends on what they had. Most fish are supposed to live for a few years. A lot ten or more
poor fish..how old is your 40 gallon tank?
Dang man, thank God I never got a WAVE TANK , also hope he didn't lose to much money on the coral side. I have $15k in my tank. Ugh poor couple with those water damages! Wonder how they are gonna explain this to there adjustors
"Farmers has seen a thing or two!!"
Bah bah bah dah dah dah😂🤣😂🤣
Lamp too hot, thermal stress caused the glass to pop?
it looks like the glass is curved. maybe unnecessary strain on the glass? the curvy glass doesent even look good in the first place
No lol this aquarium either had a crack in it or he placed the aquarium on a stand that was too small and the edges were off the side causing strain on the tank
I had the return hose knocked my tank once. You can imagine coming home after a 12 hour shift to your turtle looking at you like "hi i cleaned the floor for you" the wooden floor was the only injury thankfully.
*My trying to find the fish tank*
*Me realizing the fish tank wasnt a window*💀
I was looking everywhere for the tank
I don't understand why someone would have a surveillance camera running in their living room.
Ask to his wife lol
The description is hard to understand. You had 20 fish in a custom (made for you) aquarium that you had dry for a long time?
him running off to find whatever he was and just leaving his wife is like when peter leaves his aunt may to change into spider-man and the police officer is like ‘some hero your kid is’
Licks chops 🐶”dinner time”
You can clearly see the woman casting the spell with her hand right before it explodes… even she was surprised of her power

What a BLESSING they are!!!
They rushed in to their CHILD first!!!
I LOVE MY PARENTS!!!❤️❤️❤️

fish keepers after watching this: OH NO, I GOTA SELL MA FISH RN
That dog is cool as hell . Just like “where you going ?” lol
I agreee. The dog was very relaxed...
Every fish enthusiast has had this happen before and it’s a absolute nightmare, one of my biggest fears of owning large fish tanks. Had one bust a few years ago and had to replace the entire floor and carpet
oh GOD I hope this doesn't happen to me...
Nah dude this is not that common, and mostly due to some kind of negligence barring a manufacturer defect
@@jon_the_1373 Agree, if your tank is made correctly and not set up with the glass overhanging or the tank on a tilt, this will never happen. Another comment pointed out that this was a custom tank, if you look at it it's got a weird wavy glass front, and it must have not been made well and broke.
nah this is something that rarely ever happens lol. Wtf are u talking about. Imagine if this was common. Who would be buying fish tanks? Use your brain . I know many ppl that have been keeping fish for years and this has never happened.
What?? I've never had this happen to me lol
When Thanos snapped his finger the realm of fish suffered disproportionate losses.
Years ago someone gave me a 75 gallon tank. I was upsizing from a 25 gallon. I got everything swapped over and had the tank about 90% full when I start noticing a slight cracking/popping sound. I stopped and actually paid attention for a moment and noticed the glass walls were bowed way out. Lol, I went into emergency bailout mode and managed to get the level down in time but it was close. It was only after that I noticed the tank had no crossmember at the top, wasn’t meant to be a fish tank. Big lesson learned there.

The dog was like fuck duck that you two can clean the mess up im just gonna sit here and watch😂😂
I don’t know why but I can’t stop laughing lol
Not funny.
It's hard to tell, but it looks like the front glass may have been an odd shape, like a curve or wave. I wonder if that contributed to this catastrophic and epic failure.
Yes, the description sais wavy custom tank. And yes, it is really not something to do custom of it's wavy.
I just took down my last fishtank and can finally bring myself to watch videos like this. The cost, the devastation. 😢
This is why I pay extra and get an acrylic tank. They are more expensive in the 200 and lower sizes, and yes they can crack, but rarely burst like this. They are also much more resistant to instant cracking/failure than glass and have less points of failure from less silicone seams. Factor in their better clarity and lighter weight on top of that. Regardless if glass or acrylic, make sure it's level.
What do u mean by level?
@@sejalmahajan7177 That the bottom of the glass is level with the floor, most people when setting up a new tank will put a level gauge on the bottom of the tank and make sure it's level (left to right and front to back), usually by shimming the stand. Never shim the tank frame to the stand itself. If not leveled well, the bottom of the tank will experience uneven stress and eventually crack over time, especially larger glass tanks.
On Halloween too . . . "You know it's Halloween? I guess everybody's entitled to one good scare!"
The dog ain't leaving the dry couch. 🤣
Am I the only one wondering why there's a camera just monitoring everyday life in the living room?
Maybe it's the neighbor's camera lol
OMG can you imagine!! Sorry they had to go through that!! Sucks
I've had a 50 gallon crack on the bottom but not break, started emptying it quickly and always keep a 10 gallon around just in case you need a temp home for survivors. Any set up I have had I used a ceiling tile underneath even if it's a bonafide tank stand as it will even out the weight and avoid cracking with any micro imperfections under such weight. At 8.5 lbs per gallon the weight adds up quick. hope your dog is ok.

thats what you call electricity in a box lol lol
Idk what the guy ran for, but he definitely knew what to run for 😅
I've had the same tank for 20 years and bought it used. I resealed it once myself. They just don't make em like they used to
That last sentence could be applied to everything. ❤️👋😂
Just because you bought used doesn’t mean their used is the same quality 😅
@@subyouwont i don't remember the name but its a high quality brand with extra thick glass wills. They don't make that brand anymore and tanks now a days are thin acrylic
So true. I only buy used tanks if they were made in the 20th century
