After 2 years of looking at an empty aquarium I set it back up on Sunday with goldfish for my 3 year old.
Overnight on Sunday the pump outflow sprung a leak. I mopped up what I could but the tank is placed near a wall and water has gotten into the expansion gap under the flooring near the skirting board.
I have no real idea how much water leaked, up to 10 litres is my estimate.
The laminate on a different part of the floor gas started to swell and rise up at the joint.
I can't move the tank as it weighs a ton unless I drain it but I'm scared the floor will spring up.
Will it dry out and go back down? Or am I looking at having to replace the entire living room and hallway? or depending on the direction it was laid can I just replace a section?
I would upload some photos but I don't know how to.....
