Been there, done that!
A few weeks ago, I was sleeping then in the middle of the night I heard water pouring out. Luckily my tank is in my bedroom. I guess the seal broke through, which was kind of expected since I re-sealed it myself. It didn't look like I did the best job. Everything turned out okay, I had another running tank at the time. I got a new tank. It looks a lot better, and now I can sleep. I recommend not using an old tank with leaks. They are like an asshole ready to explode.

had a dream like that back in the mid 90's but I dream that my 3 55's 1 38 and and 2 20's had busted and had one ugly flood in my apartment. I woke up and went straight into the living room and did a complete inspection on everything that took me almost an hour and a half to do, probably because i done 15 to 20% WC on all tanks. along double checking all my magnum 350 connection and checking each canister.
Back then I was running 3 magnum 350 per tank 1 charcoal, 1 ammonia, and 1 micron filter for water polishing excpt for on the 20's and 10's I ran magnum hot's on them just 1 per tank.
but in my dream the only tanks that didn't bust was 2 38's and 3 20's, So you can se how many tanks i had in my living room ( my fish room since I really only had 1 couch and a 25" tv in there.). lol and in my bedroom had about 5 10's that held feeders.
2 of the 3 55's was my SW tank one was FO and the other one was a FOWLR

Uh yeah, I often dream that the tank busted and spilled tons of water everywhere. I'm really paranoid about it. I'm always checking the seals, etc on my tank.
And then once I had a dream that my cat took too much interest in the tank...somehow jumped inside it and couldn't get back out and drowned. That was not a happy dream. Luckily, the cat could care less about the tank.
