Not the best way to start your morning

On Saturday night we moved our fish tank to our bedroom because we didn't want our one remaining fishy to boil in the window sill, since it is getting warmer.

In the morning I heard a weird sound. It sounded like the fish may have jumped out of his tank, so I looked over and it looked as though almost ALL the water from tank was gone. Well, that just couldn't be, so I had to get up and look closer since I didn't have my glasses on. When I got closer I saw that is was true, 2/3's of all the water was gone so our fishy was just swimming around at the very bottom of the tank in the remaining inches of water.

I was so shocked I woke Pat up to show him. It was so confusing because there was no water no water to be seen anywhere! It was like a magic trick. Totally confused, I grabbed the top portion of the tank to pick it up to fill it up in the kitchen. As I did this, the top of the tank lifted up, while the bottom of the tank remained suction cupped to the dresser--translation: the tank broke into two pieces. Rocks, plants,water and fish exploded all over our dresser and floor!

Pat, like a ninja, quickly picked up the suffocating fish as I filled up a bowl with water. Luckily, the fish seems to be doing okay.

There ended up being a tiny crack in the bottom portion of the tank. Over night the tank slowly leaked about 5 gallons of water in our dresser, being soaked up by the wood and my clothes! While being totally gross that my clothes had fish water all in them and now our dresser has bit of water damage; it made for one good magic trick!
