No worries, glad to help.

I am also a retailer of All-Glass tanks and have had a few crack over the years. I would suggest you give all-glass a call as we have done this in the past and they have always replaced the tank. I know the warranty states that it must be on all-glass stand but I have never personally heard of them enforcing that rule. Calling them would definately be worth a try.

Hi Jack

Sorry to here of your disaster.

If you need anything from me let me know.


I have lots of softies if you need some.

One day, they are going to invent a new tank that is fool proof. They will look back at those poor people that lived in the early 21st century, and wonder how those poor people ever managed.

Well after some thought - the odds of this happening twice...

If J&L can replace the tank and my AC Jr and Osmolator are okay I think I'll setup again. Both contollers were a little wet but functioning when I tore the tank down so maybe they are still okay - I'll fire them up and check them tomorrow after work.

Bill saved all my coral, liverock, and fish so there can be a happy ending.

KT said "can you double silicone tanks?" Maybe thats not a bad Idea - lol.

My ACjr fell in a bucket of water and still works. I just took it apart and let it dry for a while in front of the fire. Put it back together and its still running fine.

Hope yours keeps working! Good luck man.

Holy smokes Jack. This sucks!

Hope things work out. Let me know if you need anything. I have lots of spare stuff kicking around.

If you can't get the tank replaced free, I have a new 65g 3' Perfecto still at BAs that I never picked up yet. Let me know if you need it.

Before you fire up the electronics I would seriously consider opening them up for a cleaning, electronics stores have a spray that will clean/dry/seal the circiut board after it has been wet, any dried salts on the board will shorten the life considerably, I have a can around here somewhere if you want the name of it, works great.

Ohhhhhhh Jack!!! Sorry to hear about your situation. :(

Pretty much any "contact Cleaner" will be fine on electronics. Rubbing Alcohol is fine as well. Got to clean any salts or deposits as they usually are conductive and will lead to letting the smoke out

hey jack man im so sorry i was going to ask you about your tank the next time that you were on MSN messenger, i guess i wont ask you that

Wow!.....Bummer man

Hang in there. Setting up a new tank is always the best part.

Say hi to KT for me.

Cheers

Thanks guys.

Anyone have a carpet knee stretcher thingy to re-install my carpet? I'm not sure how to put it back.

You should be able to rent one from a tool rental place if nothing else..

Ok. Thanks Tony.

AC Jr. is fine.

Osmolator seems funky. The too high light is solid red, too low light is blinking and alarm. The same alarm sound I came home to.

From the Tunze website:

" If Red LED „Too high“ and red LED „Too low“ are lit and are flashing simultaneously = Water has penetrated into the controller and has switched off all functions. Open the device (see overleaf); dry the PCB and clean, if and when necessary. If both LEDs light up again after some hours, residual salts and high humidity may be the cause. The device has to be examined in a specialised workshop."

Where can I easily get this electronic cleaner stuff?

whoa dude.
sorry to hear about the tank.
guess you moved already eh?
gimme a shout if you need anything.

Well J&L has fixed me up. Thanks Jeff.

Sure, whats the name?

id help you out but i live out in abbotsford just thought id give you some advice(im a floor layer by trade) strech away from your door way first then hook one end on the tack strip underneath. then strech it across to that other wall. then between those two points hooks that wall on and do the same for all the walls. it will keep it straight and buckle free. and peice of advice dont be suprised if you have to cut a litle off when you re stretch it

Well, I'm re-setup!

Got a new tank and just got my livestock back from my friend last Wednesday.

Looks real nice Jack. Glad things are getting back to normal after the big blow out.

Anthony

Looks great Jack! Glad to see you're back in the game :wink:

Thanks everybody. I'm glad I didn't get out.

I'm enjoying this sumpless softy tank... it's so easy.

Equipment:

76 gallon Oceanic Half- circle
Tunze Osmolator - used for top off
Tunze Nanocleaner - eliminates surface scum and gives a place for the osmolator sensors
150w Ebo Heater
Aquacontroller Jr - Light and heater control
Tunze Nanostream 6025 - flow
Sunlight Supply New Wave 4x24w T5 fixture - 3xAquablue+, 1x6000k
B-Ionic 20mls every day or so - I don't test anymore.

4 damsels, Coral beauty, and a I have a pair of Percs on the way.

Pretty basic but I'm enjoying it.

Warranty
 

Most major tank brands carry warranty. if it is defect, and not user caused, you should be able to get it replaced. if not, scream and shout. i would. sorry , but dont give up.

bs
 

Were you advised to buy all glass stand to keep warranty. if not, keep fighting.

Glad to see your still in it Jack. Tank looks great.

Chris

J&L replaced the tank.

Ha ha
 

I should have read the whole thread
