    Default LEAKY TANK AHHHHHHH!!!

    Well disaster has struck on a small scale at my place I woke up this morning and noticed water dripping off the counter top where my 20 gal sits. So my first thought was oh I've got some water siphoning going on or something . Wrong its a crack in the top of my tank. So I called the gf at work and gave her the scoop and she was like why dont you just buy the 75gal that you want? So I did the LFS had to order it and it should be here thursday I'm getting a decent deal on it IMO I'm getting the Tank, Light, and Stand and a bag of crushed coral for 300 bucks. So I'll have to keep you all posted on my new tank build up

    I'm totaly stoked (oops i mean bummed out that i have to get a bigger tank) LOL

    I'm so "sorry" about your problem Mike.

    Bet your really "sad" about having to get a new tank.

    Think on the bright side, you can get your new tank, fix the old and now have two!

    mawhahaha!

    Sounds like you'll need some different lighting for the 75.

    Congrats Mike on the mishap. A 75 is a nice tank size. That is what I am running right now.

    To bad you did not live in Arizona. I just traded away an AGA 65 gallon tank with stand and hood, sump, all plumbing and overflow. The hood was prewired for 4 36" vho all that was needed was a new ice cap 660. could not sell it at all. Traded for A. nana frag and various other small frags. But on the good side I bought a 29 gallon tank with stand, hood, cpr hang on fuge, cpr skimmer and light kit (150 watt MH, and 2 65 watt pc) for $170 it became my new frag tank.

    Yeah yeah, I know how you did it. You waited for the old lady to go to sleep and started banging the rock inside the tank against the wall till it started to leak. Good Move! Now you have a leaky QT tank lol
