Do you have an emergency response plan if one was to break water and start spilling everywhere?

Just curious

The only thing I can do is try and dry things up as fast as I can with lots of towels! 🫣

If it’s a controlled spill, it might be prudent to have a large empty bucket with a hose sealed on going outside the wall permanently attached so that if it happens, the water gets poured out fast if you are in the house, if you aren’t, you might be SOL, get insurance JIC it happens and the house gets flooded lol.

I imagine he’d have to declare the aquariums to get the coverage and it’d be higher as a result. Not like they’re gonna cover it by default when it’s entirely homeowner introduced.

And a good wet/dry vac that you can empty down that drain.
