You know the tank base? The thing on which the tank sits?
I had some flooding earlier, and long story short the carpet under the tank retained water, making the bottom fibre board part of the tank (the part which makes contact with the floor) moist, and over time this part has kind of puffed up a little. I think the fibre board must have weakened from this.
The structural beams of the tank base (which seem to be made of real wood not fibre board) seem fine but I'm wondering if there is any chance that the tank base could just collapse. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
How in the world do I switch tank bases? It's a 100 gallon tank so there's no way of lifting it from the old base and onto a new one.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've had fish in there for 3 years now with no problems.
