While I to far to drive give us some info. How bad is the leak. Do you have anything else to transfer your livestock. Is serious matter for sure as it may
be on the verge of breaking.

Well it’s still pretty awful but I have the leaking place identified and I have the it directed so I can collect it. It’s on the vertical front glass pane tho so I’m still pretty nervous.

I found a maint guy and he’s going to help relocate at 11.

Right now David Raines is going to store it all. I need to talk to him again to make sure he can cover it all.


Very kind of you to answer

Go to tractor supply and get a stock tank. Put it directly in front of your tank and siphon into it. Both of those below are under $85. City pets, Fish Gallery, Fish Bowl, ADG, all have tanks ready to go. Time for an upgrade! 0B1DDCB3-26A3-494C-BC06-EB3C1B2D59C0.png D6787260-969C-472D-8738-36C74AC875B9.png

So sorry to hear that. I dealt with the same issue two and a half years ago, so I know what a nightmare it is. I have a 100 gallon tub you can use, but as you know, I am very far from you.

Thanks for all the kind words. I’ve placed everything with David at Galactic. The tank is in the bin.


Trying to dry things out. I’ll update this in a few.

I think the more important questions is...what are the plans for a NEW tank!!!

Let me offer the best deal on the Internet with complete Starfire panels. Only $899 shipped to your door with zero build time. They’re already ready to go. They’re even drillled for Synergy Reef Ghost overflow. :)

Feel pretty blessed to have gotten the tank outta here and placed most everything with David at Galactic.

Quite a bad day I must say. The leak probably doubled while I was sitting there watching it.


It’s all of our worst fear in this hobby for good reason
