Usually once the wet stuff falls, that problem takes care of itself in the worst way. Still don't want to take chances.

Edit: Ed is a moron sometimes, but a well meaning one.

Augh, wrong thread for the reply.

Transfer heaters and a powerhead to a brute or a 5 gallon, and set the heater 3 or 4 degrees lower than normal. We don't want to heat things up too quickly. Powerhead either just breaking the surface, or if it's a gyre, under the surface just enough to pull a little air in. Set this up away from where you will be cleaning up.

Assess the failure, what caused the leak, and how did it start. Unlevel stand, seam failure, algae scraper mishap are the three biggest culprits in that order.

Unless it's a Red Sea, then it's just poor manufacturer quality.

This is going to sound callous, but it's triage mindset. Determine what has the highest likelihood of survival in the space you have available. You can always replace the rest later.

You should be taking pictures for insurance.

You should be keeping your personal safety in the forefront of your mind.

All we have is 'Help' and 'It's leaking'. Not much to go by.

Tank crashes, tank breaks are some of the worst things to deal with. Reading the above posts. My 90g bow front leaking saved my life. Okay, moving on.
