cracked tank
That sure sucks and its all my fault...
My 60 glns frag tank was holding 40 mother colonies of acans,pink torch,plates,and a couple pink tip elegant coral.In the plans of fragging this weekend.I wedged a power head between the 2 over flow pipes for extra circulation,lights go out and I watch TV for an hour...before going to bed I decided to do a last look at the tanks,...basement floor flooded with the aquarium room...I cracked the bottom between the pipes enought to get a good flow leek,...I spend the last 3 hours shop vacuuming the entire basement remove by jamming the corals into other tanks,wet and tired.Luckily I still have 2 large commercial dehumidifiers to run for the next few days. All that said and being busy at work tomorrow I need me to find a 4ftX16"X20" tank and drill it to have replace my mistake.....:twised: Venting is always better than going to bet all ****ed off at my self... |
Sorry to hear man.

Man that sucks. Hopefully you didn't lose any livestock. Let me know if I can help in anyway!
|
thanks guys for the helping hand offers.
A special thanks to Denny and Dave for drilling my new frag tank as I am still setting it up and has to be finished by tonight as I don't need to loose any of my LPS and need to free up my other shallow frag tank for the next shipment witch will be arriving on Friday. |

well yesterday I was up cleaning until 3:30am lesson learned if it doesn't fit don't try to jam it :biggrin: I just finished moving most LPS to the new frag tank,tomorrow make room in the next one for the upcoming shipment. In the process I lost 2 mother colonies of pink tip torch and blue tip hammer:sad: (17 heads in total)as My monster pink tip elegance coral stung them both over the 24hr period of stress. I will take some photos of the loss and of what I have left tomorrow.I need to sleep for 3 hrs now to make it to work tomorrow for 5am |
