The world is coming to one where warning lables are supposed to
be put on by the consumer.
Do not trus the seal of a 20 gallon or less tank after 10 yrs. Do not
trust he seal of a 30 gallon or more tank after 10 minutes. Make
sure the tanks are fitting with top and bottom braces (thick pieces
of glass silicones along the top and bottom inside corners) and
reseal them after 5 yrs. Then hope for the best.
It's time my 50 gallon got a service. I don't think the carpet would
like the 50 gallon shower...
My condoences for the loss of the fish.:-(
