    heard the splash noise on my overflow box going from light to heavy. also noticed my DT water line pulsating back and flow. couldn't figure out what the hell was causing it:confused: then found out it was about a 6.9 in baja mexico:eek: crazy stuff....never would have known if not for my tank.

    also scares me and makes me wish I had an acrylic tank. home owners doesn't cover earthquakes.

    yeah, I think the euro-bracing on my tank helped keep the water in the tank
