Aquarium Advice Addict
The yesterday I woke up to about 5 gallons all over my floor. Apparently my filter sponge got clogged up and so instead of water draining back into the tank, it started draining all over my carpet. Anyways, I figured I'd let it air dry, but tonight I noticed that it's starting to smell, moldy is the best way I can describe it. I also noticed that it's doing more spreading than drying.
The tank sits on top of a stand that goes all the way to the carpet, so I can't clean under it without moving the entire tank, but since the carpet is wet in front of the tank, while the filter is on the back, I can almost guarentee its under the stand as well.
Is there any way I can clean this up without having to move it and give the carpet a good shampoo?
It also happens to be on the 2nd story, so I'm wondering if I should be worried about it compromising the structure of my house?
Basically, it's a huge mess, and I've got so much anxiety over it, I can't think straight about what I should do to fix this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
