    The security cameras at a US aquatic shop caught the moment that a huge aquarium burst, emptying around 1250 gal. of water all over the floor.

    Iowa Pet Foods and Aquatics, in West Des Moines, were greeted by 5cm/2" of standing water after the fish tank collapsed last Thursday. Luckily there was no livestock in the aquarium at the time and no one was injured.

    WOW! and that looked to be atleast 1" thick acrylic!!!

    What do you think would of caused this?

    imagine a store that had a huge fish tank below you?!?! and there were planks or bridges that you would walk on as fish were swimming below?

    I did dance on a dancefloor in a club in South Beach that had this!

    the floor was clear and below it was a massive pond, about 30' x 30' atleast!

    Methinks it was employee error or occurred during initial filling. Watch the video again and look at the right side of the tank. An employee/person was near the back when it happened and can be seen running to the right....
