Woke up this morning and one of the seams on the 225 split. A lot of water on the floor and a tank about 3/4 drained as well as the sump pump running dry. I have a 225 gallon peninsula tank made out of 3/4" glass that needs to be resealed. If you wanna come get it, it is yours.

Sorry to hear that Jamie. If you need any help shoot me a PM or call. Thanks.

Thank you very much Steve I appreciate that. Felix is going to take the 225 back and I have Dennis getting me a quote for a new tank.

Do you have a back up tank for your coral and fish?

 

[Jamie9169]

My mother in law has a 125 and she is holding my fish and corals for me.

Ok just seeing if you needed a temporary holder.

AW MANNNNNN!!!! This sucks! So sorry to hear.
So how's the live stock? How's the house???

 

[Jamie9169]

The house is okay. Finally got everything dried out. I gotta be honest with you, it looks like a lot of water in the tank but when it is on the floor, it looks like an ocean.

Took a trip to Corpus this morning and picked up a DSA 280 gallon peninsula tank for a good deal. Quick trip but worth it. Now after Felix gets this one out I can get started on the re-build. Upgraded a little bit on size, it is a foot longer.

 

[LSUFireGal]

Yay! Glad to know you are on the road to rebuilding. Congrats on the upgrade!

 

[Jamie9169]

Thank you. Honestly the first thoughts I had when I saw the flood was, I am done, I give up. After about ten minutes I thought, no way, this means upgrade. I have found that once bitten by the reef bug, you will never get over it.

hhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllpppppppppppppppp!

It's understandable. If my tank leaks, my next tank will be a 30/g.

I'm glad you found a new tank Jamie.
