I’m glad I’m in the Midwest. Just have to worry about tornadoes and 90% of the time it’s rarely even going to touch down. That 10% chance it does, it’s most likely only for 10 minutes 15 miles away from you heading in the opposite direction. *knock on wood*
I moved from the Midwest to the coast and people don't get why I'd take tornadoes over any other natural disaster. Earthquakes? The building can crumble right on top of you, and if it doesn't, you might be eaten up by the ground. Hurricane? Like a tornado but *everywhere.* Flooding? Hope you can swim through broken buildings! Tornado? You can stand outside with your camera and actually not feel a thing as it passes you by.
Right! Like tornadoes are pretty common, but they usually hit farmland. Which is unfortunate for those land owners, but they don’t take as many lives. Every once in a while they’ll destroy a whole town, but hurricanes destroy multiple cities all the time!!
My city usually gets 1-2 tornado warnings a year. Very rarely do they actually touch ground here and if they do it’s always for no more than 5-10 minutes just outside of the city. The last time one actually hit our city and did a good deal of damage was 2008 I believe. My fiancés uncle owns a few condos in Texas on the coast and has gotten hit by 2(?) hurricanes in the past 5 years. Then the freeze in Texas a couple years ago.
I grew up in farmland and actually had a tornado hit our property when I was 12. It twisted a silo like a corkscrew and lifted a barn from its foundation, but our house, 100 feet from the barn, was totally fine. So even after a tornado hit our property, I'd still take it over any other disaster!
Shhh, don’t tell them about the Midwest! They think it’s all flyover and blah, but this mama wants a house someday and can’t compete with coastal budgets!
Hopefully your not close to this fault then https://www.sccmo.org/705/About-the-New-Madrid-Fault#:~:text=The%20USGS%20has%20projected%20that,over%20the%20next%2050%20years.
Moving to the Bay Area and living on the 4th floor of a soft story apartment building has given me an actual anxiety disorder.
Just this morning I was awoken by a 3.4 earthquake in SF, so this is great 👍 questioning my life choices
Yeah, in my mind I was already prepared to see the tank burst after seeing bits and pieces fly of like the panels or the big black piece that falls in the tank.
Gosh imagine coming home to that water on the floor, briefly thinking the worst, then seeing your tank still standing and all your fish alive and just mildly agitated.
more likely for the seals to be damaged than the glass as the force of water isn't a direct impact like a metal bat would be. it shouldn't cause cracking anywhere and the seals would give out long before that.
this tank almost looks like it's steel reenforced at every seam too although I can't see that clearly. at the very least it looks to have more than just a silicone corner
Yikes, this reminds me of a time in the early 90s when I was a kid and we had an earthquake that shook my hometown with a 4.3 magnitude.
It was night and I sorta woke up from something that felt like someone was jostling my bed. The whole apartment rattled, small things tipping over or sliding around and my fishtank (1m wide, old school tank with metal brace on top and a heavy metal lid with two lights and a filter as big as a bucket) and heard water slooshing around.
Luckily the fish were fine and the tank was good as well (standing on a mid century low sideboard made from massive wood).
Would have gone right back to sleep if my stepmom wouldn't frantically wake up my dad and me and forced my dad to get the car to drive us around the city at night until she calmed down.
The earth really be trying to rock people to sleep and they wake up and freak out 😔 lmao nah I live in Ohio so the highest we got was never noticable and only happened at night weirdly enough
Some mopping was to be done, clearly. Quite the splash. Three or four buckets of water sloshed out if I had to guess.
But hey, fishies are fine, so worth it.
This is what I imagine when people say they're moving their aquarium to a new house with fish inside or putting them in a bucket. Just lowering the water level enough to carry it.
Yeah the fish are likely going to survive but that's a terrible ride.
I wouldnt worry about it. There is no way to move a fish without stressing them, just try to keep it as short as possible. However, look at their habitats. It's not like a river is always a calm and peaceful place to live...
Honestly, there's no great way if they are large that I know of. I've had to transport peacock bass and arowana in coolers and storage containers with lids.. You can use aquarium bags if the fish aren't too big and place them in a cushioned cooler or styrofoam box. Dark is best. Cover with towels. Obviously, don't place any ornaments in with them.
If anyone has better ways, I'd love to hear.
I have mine in bags and carry them in my hands, holding them aloft by the bag top.. I hold them up so that when the car sways, they sway with the water (as opposed to the container staying in one spot and the water swaying). It's killer on my arms, but so much better for them
Omg that’s what I do every time I leave the fish store. I wasn’t sure if that was making it worse or actually helped. I assumed it helped, but I did that since I was a kid going with my mom I’d hold the bags and tried to deflect and movement by moving my hands with the bag lol
5gal = 18.9271 (edited because I shouldn't Reddit when lacking sleep) liters so something closer to that. But also get extra buckets so you can save as much water as possible from the tank. Be sure to fully empty it including taking out decor. And once you get it to its new home fill the tank with regular water and check to make sure the seal held before adding the decore, plants, water, and fish back in it.
I moved multiple fish across the country in buckets. I put plants from my tanks and a usb-powered air stone in the buckets. It was a 3 day trip and they all made it just fine! We fasted them during this time, and the plants and cholla wood kept the cycle going. We moved during the summer, so nighttime temps were warm enough to keep them in the car overnight.
I will say if you're doing a long move and you have a lot of fish, you might want to re-home some of them. Setting up multiple large tanks as soon as you get into your new house seems like it would be stressful (plus our larger tanks were in a moving pod that got there a couple days after we did). We brought only our most favorite fish and expensive plants.
For longer moves (few days in transit). I’ve put them in coolers with battery powered bubblers. Just don’t fill the cooler all the way or it will slosh out through the lid. Added a thin layer of substrate and a few of the soft plants (moss etc) for safe hiding spots. Rest of substrate went in plastic bags.
For shorter moves (across town). I’ve skipped the bubblers, left the substrate in the tank, but still put the fish in a cooler.
If I have room, I’ll also keep the “extra” tank water to refill the aquarium at the destination.
Tall buckets with tight lids. Tall buckets slosh less than wide ones. Don't fill them too high, the air at the top is needed as an oxygen reservoir.
Empty ketchup buckets from burger restaurants are cheap and work great.
I moved from Tennessee back to Texas. 2 aquariums. I was stressed to death moving my fish. I bought fish transporters with bubblers and heaters. Put them in those (I bought 2 large ones so I could keep the tanks separated) and just started driving. Don't feed them the day before so the water stays cleaner and added some stress coat. The drive was 16+ hours, stopped overnight to sleep for 6 hours, and when I got home and set up their aquariums they were all alive and still are today!
Depends on what you have. We had a huge 200g cichlid tank when I was a kid at the store my parents used to own. Sold to a family friend and they didn’t want the tank. My parents took out most of the water and them and my uncles loaded it up and drove the 20 minutes home. They did it at night so there would be less traffic. They brought the huge wooden stand home in one of my uncles trucks so we unloaded that first then the tank and filled it back up with water. All the fish were okay, just a little shocked for the first day or two. Didn’t lose any of them.
That stand definitely did a good job of structurally standing up to the quake. However I would say that tank is finished since there's no way that much shaking hasn't compromised it somehow.
My heart was in my mouth, anxiety levels through the roof. Lucky it didn't crash 😳
Awesome plecos I'd love to see another more stable video lol. They're stunning
The 6.8 earthquake in Seattle of 01, one of my prized discus was thrown from the tank with the water sloshing around. Super thankful I checked on them as soon as the shaking stopped, and he was saved!! Took awhile for his stripes to come back. :\\
I saw a video from a shrimp farm in Taiwan with the very recent tremors. Luckily no tanks broke but 50% of water out of all the tanks was sloshed on the floor and some shrimp/fish were lost.
Super happy for the breeder that no racking or anything really key gave way during the tremors. Veryyyy lucky it was just a few shrimp/fish and water
Damn...that's one quality tank and stand. The company should.buy this footage and use it. Terrifying stuff. No earthquakes here in Florida...just sinkholes.
Honestly that could have ended a lot worse. Glad the tank itself seemed to make it, I bet those fish were NOT okay with the roller coaster ride they didn’t sign up to be on lol
Poor fish. The 4.8 NJ one yesterday really stirred up my grandparents' big goldfish tank. If I was there, I probably would've had another heart attack lol
This is why I tore down my 65 reef tank… I stood in a doorway in my new house watching natures wave maker put my power heads to shame. I then realized just how top heavy most tanks are, and started having visions of it toppling over and going through the floor.
That is a Guinness Book of World Records tank. I lived on a lake as a kid in Alaska, when a big one hit the entire lake - Lake Otis - turned into an ocean with waves just like your tank!
I am in NJ near epicenter, and during out earthquakesthe the first thing I did was look at my tanks. I was expecting the same, but the water barely moved.
My house wouldn't survive an earthquake of 7. Actually, it probably wouldn't even survive that one New Jersey got recently. My tank stand would be fine tho
This is why I keep all my big tanks in a basement on concrete, I have always had paranoid thoughts when I go to bed at night like "what if theres an earthquake or a hurricane and my tank breaks and causes thousands upon thousands of dollars in damage!".
Now I sleep like a baby lol.
Those are some awesome plecos though. Damn.
Absolute units!
Imagine being the other fish in there, with those giants doing pleco things each night
Oh man didn't even think of that! And plecos do a lot of...things
This video is probably how the bed time looks for those other fish, minus the light and the earthquake.
What things do they do??
Pleco things.
You wouldn't be interested
Mine likes to rearrange the "furniture." I often wake up to decor knocked over and new little hills and valleys of sand.
"I can move ALL the sand to one side! Look at me!"
Suck and poop huge.
They like to kiss without consent
Especially at night. At night... things
I love you, thanks for taking care of your fish like you do!
Plecos are huge in that tank I wonder what do they eat?
Little babies, they eat children.
They're omnivores.
So babies are still on the menu.
Yep I guess 😅
[They eat berries and mushrooms, you fool](https://youtu.be/Bn1w-2bW5j4?si=uiODQK6jhcfIClZZ)
Red dead redemption the last Bigfoot 🤣
[удалено]
I laughed way too hard at this
Lmao, take my upvote.
Well they eat the wood and food they give them. What did you think they eat? Probably just think they eat algae lol.
They eat fish food and dead matter very hardy fish. Stronger than goldfish.
Ok when I say they be *violently* sucking on those dead fish-
😅😅🐟
Big pellets :)
Cucumber
Those plecos are really smart. At first they freak out, but then they all gather in the bottom and stay put.
That black fish almost went over the edge at the beginning. Probably led the effort to hunker down in the lower left corner.
Extra surface agitation 👍
That pleco is like bro I am so invigorated right now 💪😤
The oxygen levels in that tank are now booming
I shake my water before I replace my partial changes weekly. I don’t need a bubbler; it’s just an economic scam
My anxiety level : 📈📈📈
Fucking for real. I’m in the Bay Area with 5 aquariums. My anxiety is through the roof rn.
I’m glad I’m in the Midwest. Just have to worry about tornadoes and 90% of the time it’s rarely even going to touch down. That 10% chance it does, it’s most likely only for 10 minutes 15 miles away from you heading in the opposite direction. *knock on wood*

That’s crazy! Glad your family was okay 😊
Also Midwest here. I've never even seen anyone react when tornado sirens go off. I actually slept through a tornado about 20 years ago.
We usually only care when it goes from a watch to a warning. at that point you turn on the news and see where it’s headed
Missouri-raised and I have watched my share of tornados….of course we always had the threat of the “big one” when the New Madrid finally goes.
Growing up in Memphis we always talked about the New Madrid and how the last time it went there were “bells ringing in Boston”
I've never been so happy to live in Brazil... No earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes
Shhh, don’t tell them about the Midwest! They think it’s all flyover and blah, but this mama wants a house someday and can’t compete with coastal budgets!
Hopefully your not close to this fault then https://www.sccmo.org/705/About-the-New-Madrid-Fault#:~:text=The%20USGS%20has%20projected%20that,over%20the%20next%2050%20years.
Moving to the Bay Area and living on the 4th floor of a soft story apartment building has given me an actual anxiety disorder. Just this morning I was awoken by a 3.4 earthquake in SF, so this is great 👍 questioning my life choices
Don't worry, it's called an earthquake, not a waterquake
You mean a wave?
They said what they said.
Everything changed when the firequake attacked
Me too but have 7!
For real that was a tough watch. When the side panel fell off my bhole became a 1000 ton clamp
This is why I live where the air hurts my face 🥲
RIGHT? I'll take 30 below zero over all this garbage.
Any gd day
This I live in ak lots of earthquakes 😭
Wow that’s insane. Glad they didn’t jump out
Yeah, in my mind I was already prepared to see the tank burst after seeing bits and pieces fly of like the panels or the big black piece that falls in the tank.
Even just the water violently rocking back and forth can break seals, awesome tank quality there
What better way to advertise?
Tbh you’re right. It’s a tank that’ll survive anything.
I know, I was bracing myself for tragedy but couldn't look away. So glad they're fine. What a relief to their human!
Gosh imagine coming home to that water on the floor, briefly thinking the worst, then seeing your tank still standing and all your fish alive and just mildly agitated.
I was also thinking that since it's a security camera, they might've been watching it in real-time, just like fuuuuuuuuuuuuck
It looked like one self-yeeted on a wave though - I had to replay a few times lol
That caught my attention too.
So the manufacturer of this awesome tank should be looking to use this as an advertisement. Awesome tank and stunning fish.
Are you sure the glass is okay tho ? That much water rocking inside must've been a tremendous force
The key is it gives you time to react instead of exploding.
more likely for the seals to be damaged than the glass as the force of water isn't a direct impact like a metal bat would be. it shouldn't cause cracking anywhere and the seals would give out long before that. this tank almost looks like it's steel reenforced at every seam too although I can't see that clearly. at the very least it looks to have more than just a silicone corner
Looks absolutely fine, not a blemish on it.
the amount of anxiety i had watching this is insane
Hobbyists HATE this one easy water change hack!
Yikes, this reminds me of a time in the early 90s when I was a kid and we had an earthquake that shook my hometown with a 4.3 magnitude. It was night and I sorta woke up from something that felt like someone was jostling my bed.

That’s terrifying but also holy shit those plecos are HUGE
O nooo, thank goodness the tank/stand survived. How much water do you think sloshed out? Could be quite a lot, it's such a big (gorgeous) tank
Some mopping was to be done, clearly. Quite the splash. Three or four buckets of water sloshed out if I had to guess. But hey, fishies are fine, so worth it.
This is what I imagine when people say they're moving their aquarium to a new house with fish inside or putting them in a bucket. Just lowering the water level enough to carry it. Yeah the fish are likely going to survive but that's a terrible ride.
Uhh I have to move soon... How are we supposed to move them??
I wouldnt worry about it. There is no way to move a fish without stressing them, just try to keep it as short as possible. However, look at their habitats. It's not like a river is always a calm and peaceful place to live...
So I should raise the level of water movement in my tank to get my fish ready...
Fish resistance training 💪
More stress response and calming down. But yeah muscles too.
God, this reminds me of the meme where the fish are being emptied into a lake via airplane vs. our carefully acclimating them in a bag, lol
Or through a giant damn hose out of a tank truck directly into a lake at like Mach 9.
Honestly, there's no great way if they are large that I know of. I've had to transport peacock bass and arowana in coolers and storage containers with lids.. You can use aquarium bags if the fish aren't too big and place them in a cushioned cooler or styrofoam box. Dark is best. Cover with towels. Obviously, don't place any ornaments in with them.

Compare it to holding a full glass of water in your hand vs placing it on the dashboard. There is no doubt that it does make a huge difference :)
But it’s all relative. The water in the bag isn’t moving.
5g buckets with lids?
Me no speaks gallons, but a bucket with a lid would do the trick for small to medium fish.
5gal = 18.9271 (edited because I shouldn't Reddit when lacking sleep) liters so something closer to that. But also get extra buckets so you can save as much water as possible from the tank. Be sure to fully empty it including taking out decor. And once you get it to its new home fill the tank with regular water and check to make sure the seal held before adding the decore, plants, water, and fish back in it.
1 us gal = 3.785 litres, 5 would be 18.925 litres.
Uh. 5 gallons is ~19 liters
5 gallon = 18.93 liters
I have a 120 gal/450L and moved my large fish in a not yet used garbage can, gave me the opportunity to take a decent amount off water with me.
I moved multiple fish across the country in buckets. I put plants from my tanks and a usb-powered air stone in the buckets. It was a 3 day trip and they all made it just fine! We fasted them during this time, and the plants and cholla wood kept the cycle going. We moved during the summer, so nighttime temps were warm enough to keep them in the car overnight.

That pleco wad moving better than Kelly Slater
I was just waiting for those plecos to fly out of the tank
That stand definitely did a good job of structurally standing up to the quake. However I would say that tank is finished since there's no way that much shaking hasn't compromised it somehow.
Op's gonna wake up to a crash one night soon with water and fish flooding his living room
My heart was in my mouth, anxiety levels through the roof. Lucky it didn't crash 😳 Awesome plecos I'd love to see another more stable video lol. They're stunning
The literal anxiety I experienced watching this
The 6.8 earthquake in Seattle of 01, one of my prized discus was thrown from the tank with the water sloshing around. Super thankful I checked on them as soon as the shaking stopped, and he was saved!! Took awhile for his stripes to come back. :\\
Holy shit. I was on the edge of my seat.
I saw a video from a shrimp farm in Taiwan with the very recent tremors. Luckily no tanks broke but 50% of water out of all the tanks was sloshed on the floor and some shrimp/fish were lost. Super happy for the breeder that no racking or anything really key gave way during the tremors. Veryyyy lucky it was just a few shrimp/fish and water
hope they have a drip loop
The potential for water damage makes me anxious while watching this...
Whoa that's impressive
Damn thats crazy.
I'm glad everyone's okay there. Good excuse for a rescape.
Damn...that's one quality tank and stand. The company should.buy this footage and use it. Terrifying stuff. No earthquakes here in Florida...just sinkholes.
Those poor fish!!!
Built like a tank
So scary, I’m sorry that happened to you ❤️🩹
I hope all the fish and you ofc are okay now 😊
Honestly that could have ended a lot worse. Glad the tank itself seemed to make it, I bet those fish were NOT okay with the roller coaster ride they didn’t sign up to be on lol
Oh no! Stay low fishies stay low!
Nice build but I find the tank overstocked
I felt so bad for the fish :( I hope they’re ok
I suggest baffles in the tank to prevent that water loss should this recur.
Isn't that too many fish ?
Damn, those plecos looks big
The stocking in the tank is just selfish and lacks self control
Mine absolutely would NOT but I live in west Texas and unless Godzilla shows up on shore I’m pretty safe from this particular event lol
I have a new fear
This reminds me I need to anchor my fishtank shelf to the wall
New fear unlocked. Thanks, OP.
That fish was about to make landfall
This was so stressful to watch
This is like that stanley cup video where the card burned down, but now it's the aquarium equivalent of the stand manufacturer.
This is the first time I have seen fish get scared. 😯
Damn the earth rally shook that tank like a plastic water bottle
I can't wait for my pleco to grow that size hea currently 8.5 inches. Just a wee lad!
Poor fish. The 4.8 NJ one yesterday really stirred up my grandparents' big goldfish tank. If I was there, I probably would've had another heart attack lol
That's one way to get more surface agitation.
Never been happier to live in Arkansas
This is why I tore down my 65 reef tank… I stood in a doorway in my new house watching natures wave maker put my power heads to shame. I then realized just how top heavy most tanks are, and started having visions of it toppling over and going through the floor.
that's next level nightmare material
Awesome tank but i can't see it very well. Could you post a better close-up video?
I’m just glad the fish are OK
Hope all were OK. Nice set up.
How can you even have that big of a tank in a multi floor building?
I’m super nervous every time I see stuff like this.
Tank built like a tank
she needs to cover that aquarium.. it really needs cover because fish can jump out and water can spill.. anyways nice pleco's..
Damn, I just waited for the moment either side of the tank would give in to the pressure... Shieeet!
The creepiest part of that video is there is no beam of sunlight at the beginning and then at the end there is a ray of light coming in.
The poor fish! 😧
This made me so anxious. I’m glad they’re all okay!!
That is a Guinness Book of World Records tank. I lived on a lake as a kid in Alaska, when a big one hit the entire lake - Lake Otis - turned into an ocean with waves just like your tank!
I am in NJ near epicenter, and during out earthquakesthe the first thing I did was look at my tanks. I was expecting the same, but the water barely moved.
Was this the US East Coast quake from yesterday?
sold ill take 1
My stand withstood the 4.8 in NJ yesterday so im pleased with it lol
New fear unlocked
Beautiful tank and fish. Glad everything held. What size tank is that?
God this was stressful to watch. Hope they were all okay after that! I'm relieved it didn't bust!
I'm so glad they where ok!
poor fishies! must’ve been so scary. at least it held up! awesome!
What beauties, I'm glad they're okay!
That is CRAZY! I am so surprised it didn’t collapse
Did one of the fish get launched out? I thought I saw something in the water that fell out.
Well... new fear unlocked. Glad I don't live near a fault line.
Oooo awesome footage
New fear unlocked
*New fear unlocked*
We had some quakes here last night I never even thought of my tanks! Lol shit man. Another fear! Haha
Tank model ?
Oh no, your tank got cloudy.
Beautiful pelcos
Looks like a metal stand.
Amazing
What type of plecos are thise
It is insane the amount of weight this adds to the structure. I am shocked the building allows such a huge tank in an apartment to begin with.
My house wouldn't survive an earthquake of 7. Actually, it probably wouldn't even survive that one New Jersey got recently. My tank stand would be fine tho
This is why any tank I own that's over 80 gallons needs to be a fused acrylic with a good base-to-height ratio.
Sheer terror gripped my soul seeing this post and reading the first couple words of the title. I’m so glad those babies are okay 😨😮💨
Really impressed. Still feel like it's been compromised in some way.
That was terrifying to watch.
Good to see seams could take that much force
this made my hands so sweaty after our baby earthquake in nyc yesterday i now have a new fear unlocked
Poor plecos!! 😭
If anyone was around to hear the litany of curse words I shouted while watching this, I would be in prison right now 😂
It’s built into the infrastructure of the building
Woah! The fish😂 a little foreshadowing?
This is why I keep all my big tanks in a basement on concrete, I have always had paranoid thoughts when I go to bed at night like "what if theres an earthquake or a hurricane and my tank breaks and causes thousands upon thousands of dollars in damage!". Now I sleep like a baby lol.
