    Dogs went nuts and, oddly, fish have been hiding all day.

    Didn't feel a thing here. Did my beginning of the month maintenance on the tank this morning and everything seemed normal.

    A few of my FB friends in CR said they felt it. It was very subtle here, like 3-5 seconds of a 1-2 Hz low amplitude wave.

    Right before, I heard the house creak and pop once or twice, then after I went downstairs I felt slightly off-balance & some nausea, but that could have been in my head...

    All our tanks are fine. Didn't feel nothing but I was feeling like crap anyway when my day started.

    Heater broke from vibrations I assume. Luckily it is on a separate power strip from anything else vital including backup heater. Strip breaker popped and shut it down along with algae scrubber and lights. I went down to check after reading the news when I woke up on my phone about 3 hours later. I assume its crack was from the tremor as it lays on the bottom of my sump or it could be a coincidence I guess.
