This is my rant

my day started out watching some old goof smash into my work truck he hit my steel bumper his truck is in rough shape now to fishtanks

So like 3 months ago my pumps started to hum figured they were dirty and needed a good cleaning the CL snapper was no problem its mounted on the side of the cabinet but the return snapper is mounted beside my sump and quite tight as I plywooded the inside of the cabinet as well to help with noise.

So reefing on the unions to crack loose i hear snap crack pop my sump spidered everywhere around the bulkhead-SON OF A B*TCH!!!!! NOWHERE had 49G breeders in stock 2 week min. order everywhere i got ****ed off and said to hell with it ill do it when i get around to it but I did order the tank.

Come Jan. 2013 i figure my tank has had no water changes no dosing no skimmer no GFO,Carbon, or pellets(i was quite ****ed with my tank as i did 35-40 gal changes bi weekly) i should get it in gear and get the sump operational


I reconnect the 2 drains the returns the pump to the bulkhead all is well
i fill the sump with water so i can heat it up before it hits the display (my 55 g mixing drum is outside)
its full right on heater going bulkhead leaks ever so slightly i throw my trusty old pipe wrench on it turn it about 1 face and voila leak sealed i stand up and hear craccccccckkkkkkk you have got to be kidding me sump #2 cracked like god damnit the bulkhead was hand tight plus a hair and siliconed to boot!!!!!!! how did it leak the hole was drilled clean as well with very little to no blow out!!!!!!!


and to top it off Im not drinking in Jan. so i cant even put my feeet up and have a beer to feel better!!!!!

so anywho anyone need any glass??? i have 2 40G breeder tanks that have 3 panes in good shape 1 of them has only had water in it for under 5 minutes glass isnt scratched free in maple ridge

I feel better
