Tank leak...new tank to the rescue!
 

After getting home from vacation, my tank did quiet look right.
After looking around, I thought my filter socks were clogged .
So I pulled them out.
Still kept loosing water didn't notice until after I went to work.
Came home to about 30 gallons on the floor.
Figured out my return line bulkhead or something around that area is leaking. I don't have access due to the return was drill threw the bottom.
So I rush to get my new system up and going. Forgetting that I had to rinse the sand out first... Forgot in the panic.
Did a full 1000 gallon water change.... Took 8 hours!
My water is still grey.... But the fish seem okay and I'm running a lot of carbon and gfo... Needless to say I'm waiting beside my tank all night.
Thank god I had my new tank waiting. And a huge thanks to Eli and Dave!

Holy crap what a pain
Good to hear you had a back up

I dread ever having a leak with nowhere to put stuff ...

So, where's the pics ? Or are we supposed to just believe you :wink:

Ill take pics tmw. i've be at it well over 28 hours.

Nothing like a little motivation to get the ball rolling! Is this the new monster tank in the basement?? Good to hear the fish are all ok!

Good luck!

So the monster is up and running. Need pics.
