The scale is logarithmic so it would be a lot worse. Neither tank in the video broke at the seams before falling so the stand and/or strapping is critical. I suspect a solid stand with a sump or other low weight might have survived the quake in that video. I'm glad my tank didn't land on me.

    Thanks for the video. Now I can relive my nightmares.

    Most people do not realize that for every one number up on the scale its 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL! Its just the same a pH in a tank, each number up/down in that is 10 time the change to.
