Thanks, guys

Here is the pictures of Molly and Morgan from the other day. They were snoozin'
....
The rabbits are REALLY upset with me because yesterday right after work we went out to my parent's house for my brother's 18th birthday dinner, so they didn't get to come out of their cages because we went to back just as soon as we got home. And tonight/today they aren't allowed out because this happened....
Finley woke up this morning and walked out into the living room to find this mess.....
We had JUST gotten the levels in the tank perfect, had the perfect amount of fish in there, and were just so happy with our tank. Then this happens. I spent all morning crying over it.
Thankfully the fish are all alive, as well as the ghost shrimp and snails. I don't think they are in the clear yet though, since this is very stressful. Currently they are in a 5 gallon bucket in the bathroom (filled from water from this tank).
Of course the Aqueon office (the tank's brand) is closed until Monday, so I called up the store manager from our Petsmart store (where I bought the tank), begging to let him let me bring the tank kit back for a refund. He said I could, but I don't know if he expects me to get another Aqueon 36 gallon bow front tank kit or if I can pick a different kit. I know it isn't PetSmart's fault, but I am just really upset and ticked off. The Aqueon company will surely be hearing from me on Monday. I don't see a reason as to why the tank cracked...its been running for a month and a half, then all of a sudden a crack blew out!
I really bummed out too because I spent around $125 on this tank kit. I can go in and get the same kit for an exchange (which I don't want to risk again), or I can spend another $120+ for another company's tank kit that is the same size - 37 gallon Marineland kit or a 46 gallon Marine land kit (minus the filter...another $35 added on to it).
We had to return the heater that came with the kit a few weeks ago because it wasn't regulating temperature correctly. PetSmart said we could exchange it for a Top Fin brand (the cheap brand) or pay an extra $10 (in exchange) for a Fluval heater. So, there I have already invested $135 into this Aqueon tank kit.
Not to mention I'm sorry about the carpet in my apartment. We rented a steam cleaner ($25 rental) to suck up a lot of the water. We also have 2 fans (and the ceiling fan) running cross-ways to dry to dry up the carpet. If the carpet gets ruined, then I'm risking my whole $500 deposit!
I feel like throwing in the towel on fish tanks.
ARGGGG :X.
