Unveiling an Alarming Aquarium Disaster - What Went Wrong?

[@tjautocross]

Man, that is heartbreaking! I was conflicted. Felt weird giving this a like, but I know giving a dislike is counter to your success, so I complied. Thanks for another video, Jason!!!

[@JasonsCichlids]

It really is, killed me seeing those poor fish on the floor. I know what you mean mate, thanks for the thumbs up. But I have heard that even a dislike is fine as it shows viewers felt compelled enough to interact with the video.

[@chriswilson7688]

Oh Jesus! I feel so bad for your cousin thats really really unfortunate! Thank you for sharing this, its definetly a good lesson! Best wishes to Adam.

[@JasonsCichlids]

Not a problem, some food for thought when considering snapping up that free aquarium.

[@abesworld8186]

I’m sorry to hear that has happened. I remember Adam get the tropheus at the April major auction Sad ending

[@JasonsCichlids]

Yeah mate, he did get them from the major. Hopefully more come through soon

[@paulhunt2888]

Very sad but unfortunately accidents do and will happen. I hope he is able to replace his tropheus.

[@JasonsCichlids]

They do happen Paul, one of the reasons I wanted to share this with you all. I hope he can replace them too, they were beautiful little fish.

[@aqualicioushobby]

Damn!! So sorry to see this. Every fishkeepers nightmare😔

[@JasonsCichlids]

Agree mate. Every time I walk into my fish room I now think, what am I going to find??

[@aquaballs]

Where did all the water go the fish is totally dry I bet you it's hot there like here in LA 😢 sorry for the loss I had that happened to me but no fish were in tank thanks for sharing

[@JasonsCichlids]

Out the fish room door and drain that he has near where the red mat is. The aircon did the rest. Good you didn't lose fish in your one

[@DavidDK1975]

Really sad to see this Jason....Well in the hobby sometimes ba things do happen..But the hobby still moves forward...Cheers...Good to watch your videos...

[@JasonsCichlids]

Yeah it was pretty horrible to see it happen to him. He has since gotten new Tropheus which I hope to show on the channel soon when I do a Fish Room Tour at his place.

[@MagnaRads]

So sorry to see this I just put my Tropheus Moliro in my 125 gallon tank I re sealed and this would absolutely devastate me

[@JasonsCichlids]

I would be the same mate. Horrible thing to have happen.

[@gabriellamf3812]

This is devastating. I am so sorry.

[@JasonsCichlids]

Yeah was very disappointing to hear it happened to him.

[@DavidDK1975]

What was the exact reason fror the break Jason....??

[@JasonsCichlids]

I think it was a combination of a few things with the main one being the build of the tank. I feel it needed additional bracing for that thickness of glass for a tank that size. Also, possibly the wrong silicone used to construct the tank combined with the silicone being possibly too old. Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure but I think it was a combination of all that.

[@annak2575]

"Free tank".... looking at that silicone job - no surprises there.🙄

[@ciclidamente2800]

Good Lord that's the worst nightmare for a fish keeper. Probably the silicon glue did not properly adhere.Hope your cousin can put everything in order as fast as possible.

[@JasonsCichlids]

Really is Matteo. Horrible thing to come home too. He was able to fix it all up pretty quickly.

[@johnmaude5065]

WTF 😱 I’ve had two tanks crack but never exploded, my heart goes out to him

[@JasonsCichlids]

Same John, it is crazy. So lucky no one was in there when it happened. He is doing ok and I am pleased he remained positive through it all, fixing everything back up.
