Tank in T Rex restaurant at DTD sprung a BIG leak!!

[MomofKatie]

Our local NBC station just showed cellphone video of a large round fish tank with a BIG leak at the T REX Cafe in DTD. Looks like it was in the room with the jellyfish hanging from the ceiling- it is a large, freestanding round tank. There was a huge amount of water gushing out of what looked like a large crack running vertically along one side of the tank. They reported that CMS were directing people out of the area, and several actually went into the tank to try to save the fish.

Also made the Philly news. Too bad but at least the whole seam did not go. These tanks are made in two half circle sides and they are glued together. Could have been much worse... I also think this is one of the tanks they redid on "Fish Tank Kings". They redid the coral inserts on a couple of the restaurants existing 1000 and 4000 gal cylinder tanks. (They did not build the tank only redid the coral inserts.)

Remember when Sebastian said the fish in the bowl is in for a worser fate?

This is what he was talking about.

I saw the Vine video on reddit. Someone on the Disney subreddit said that they know the marine biologist that takes care of T-Rex's aquatic animals, and that fishes are fine, just really stressed.

Stories are reporting that a seal stopped working, further reinforcing the "lazy pinniped" stereotype.

I don't know if I could make a living of it, but I may try just for the halibut.

Hopefully they had a sturgeon standing by at the hospital in case any of the fish were injured.

Those fish just schooled up to watch they had that grouper mentality

This thread is going straight down the drain, and I'm laughing all the way.

That's fine, as long as no one gets crabby about it!

Oh my cod.

Reminds me of the song "I Lobster, then I Flounder" from the Adventurers Club.

But please, don't jump the shark.
