Jim, a 5.0 would probably bring down an unsecured tank. Yeah, it is crazy but you have to think about that here. When I bought my current house ten years ago, my second night here we had an earthquake, not big, may a 5 or so and I got up opened my bedroom door slider and saw a small Tsunami come out of my pool and head towards my opened door. I closed the door and the wave, about 6" hit the door. I did the aircraft cable thing because during the Northridge Earthquake about 12 years ago, I had lag bolts ripped out of the wall joists which were securing wall units. I don't need 55 gallons of water on my new hardwood floors!

John (JYL) my fish expert says 24 hours, I added two treatments that he prescribed to remove chlorine, chloramines, nitrites, nitrates, copper and a few other things. He say let the algae eater that I have sitting in a bucket live in the tank for 3-4 weeks before we discuss fish and plants. I think this guy knows his stuff.
