4am my boyfriend comes and lays down in bed and proceeds to tell me "we have a problem". Apparently our 35 gallon hex tank sprung a leak sometime in the middle of the night. About 1/3 of the water came out. Luckily the fish are OK and we just moved them to one of our 55 gallons. Plus it is a good thing my boyfriend is an early riser. He actually got up earlier than normal. We think we might have saved the filter media. We will just have to wait and see. As for the carpet, he is trying to suck up as much as he can with the vacuum (shampoo attachment). But again we got lucky in the fact it's just cement underneath the carpet as the tank is downstairs. So later today I get to go buy a new fish tank. I'll probably just get something close in size to the 35 gallon. We really need to just get a 125 gallon for the Oscars and just use the two 55 gallons for the platys, swordtails, and angels. But neither of us really have that kind of money right now.
Just wanted to share my lovely wake up call. I'll just finish watching him clean up the mess. Gotta love boyfriends who do that kind of thing.
