Disaster struck over night
So i woke up this morning around 5am to the sound of my HOB filter pulling air. Ngl i tried to ignore it at first but when I turned over, I jolted up. My 40 gallon tank was now 20 gallons in the tank, and 20 gallons on my bedroom floor. HALF of the water leaked out (where the white line is). I immediately turned off my filter, then heater (which is probably fried i dont even want to test it) and grabbed towels to try and do damage control and keep the water from spreading…which i failed at theres definitely water everywhere. As I was searching for the source of the leak, I noticed that the towel underneath the tank was completely dry. i then noticed the other half of the air stone I had in there hanging out of the side of the tank. THE AIRSTONE PULLED HALF OF THE WATER OUT OF MY TANK OVERNIGHT😭 Luckily all i have in there is 4 pearl gourami and they all survived. This is definitely a lesson learned. Its now 7am and i am going back to sleep. Ill get a new heater later.
