    Horrible. I don't know how many of you follow this thread, Nineball (Peter) was at our MACNA and I met him and chatted with him a bit, don't remember much of the conversation but I've follow his thread for a long time.


    He was going to do what sounded like a fantastic update, when disaster struck last night.

    I see it was an ATM tank, will be interesting to see how this plays out. I am sure that a contract was signed that absolves them from all damages in case of failure though.

    That is terrible. We had a similar incident but was "only" a 210 but was still ~$10K insurance claim for damage to our home. I can't imagine a 1500 gallon disaster an all of those fish & coral.

    I have no idea on ATMs quality but the show Tanked really turned me off on ever trying them.

    With the cash he has, I would sue the hell out of them.

    I am appalled, but not at all surprised by ATM. When I first met the guys, I thought they were ok. After I got to know them, I realized they dont do anything unless it is for financial gain

    Holy buckets, I am a easy going person but I would be outraged over that and not nearly as nice. Wow.
