Help Please (tank emergency) (1 Viewer)

[Kemah]

My 120 drained itself this morning. If anyone is off I could really use some help. There will be free coral and fish involved. I only have an 8 gallon tank to put a few things in and I am getting rid of the rest. Lots of live rock also. My phone number is 832-621-7747 and I am in Kemah.

I have most of the corals in a few buckets right now but I need to go to walmart and get a tub and put it all in for the moment. I am still looking for my purple tang. Weird the biggest fish I cant find.

So the tank is not leaking? Why not just put everything back in there?

I am guessing a wife or some other person put the axe down on the tank... but thats just a guess.

If I had a tank that big and it flooded my house... my husband would put the axe down for sure. I have to make sure everything is ALWAYS good cause one flood and its over for me.

Man that sucks! I wish I would have seen this earlier today. I'm on vacation and I could have drove out to help. I'm familiar with floods already. I left my ro/di unit on making water and went to bed the other night. I was filling a 5 gal jug so it was full pretty quick and ran all night. Luckily my wife is understanding. She woke up the next morning and shut it off. She even cleaned up my mess before waking me up to tell me! Haha.

Sorry to hear the mishap.

Everything es out of the house now, luckily I set the tank up with the sump in the garage so it all just went out the door and down the driveway. because of my snake breeding my wife has been trying to get me to take down the tank so it seemed like a good time to go ahead and do that. I have a tub of corrals in the drive way with heat and flow if some one wants to come take a look at them. I will probably give most of them away. I have a small nano that I am putting a few in but most wont fit. just give me a call my number is at the top of the thread.
