We're stuffed if the big one hits Wellington, we have a narrow, top heavy tank and stand combo. The the thing that makes it popular with us is the small footprint of the stand and the aesthetically pleasing appearance. I guess if a large earthquake hits owners of such tanks must simply expect destruction and do the least by ensuring the water wont end up all over electrical cords or something. And if the fish for some reason are important enough to warrant high levels of risk minimisation, a lower, broader stand with wide footprint would be advisable.

Sorry to hear all of those who have had losses, I thought this might be especially hard on fish keepers and for many of you it seems true! Best of luck pulling through! N
