    For those of you in an earthquake zone, do you take any special precautions with your tanks? Any horror stories?

    no precautions really

    I honestly don't live in an earthquake zone but a while ago we had a couple weeks of earthquakes here and there.

    The biggest was a 4.something earthquake. it was pretty big but it didn't seem to affect my tank at all.

    I live in California, so we're pretty prone to earthquakes, so far, after these two recent big earthquakes, my tank seems to be doing fine. It's an acrylic tank on an oak stand (130 gallons).
