Well my new 50 gallon tank just blew

[Jack]

Eh, don't sweat it. You sound more angry than I am.

I used to work there. I knew the policy.

If I knew the tank would explode in my living room after 1 week I woulnd't of bought it.

Funny, thinking back:

Fiance "you should get the 65 gallon, its only $4 dollars more"

Me "nah, don't want to go that big in case theres a flood"

Geez maybe I should change my name. Everyone always thinks I'm angry. Hard to communicate over computers.

oooh change it to
"Onlyslightlydisgruntledreefer"

That'd be fantastic.

So Jack, are you going to be grabbing another tank soon?

[Drock169]

Jeff wasnt able to do anything for you jack?

I cant believe that happened to you

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Oh no Jack! Im so sorry to hear this! Terrible...

I remember you telling me how careful you needed to be in the new place too

Couldn't have been worse timing. This kind of thing has always worried me so much.

Hope you don't get out though. Good luck with whatever you do.

Are All Glass the same manufacturer that make Perfecto tanks? Because I had two of them (150 gallon) spring leaks about eleven months apart. Luckily we were home both times. They were on the correct stand, too. So sorry to hear about this.

Sorry to hear that happend to you. A little shocked that J&L wouldn't replace or reimburse you, even if it was on a different stand, it shouldn't of broke after only a week!

I put Jack's T5 fixture up over that end of the sump (75g) and just about everything has opened up.

Not the best situation but I think it will work for a few days.

I'm making up some water right now for a 40g W/C tonight or tomorrow. I think I'll raise the height of the sump water level too.

Thank you very much for rescuing the fish and corals - a total loss would be tough to swallow.

I've sent Jeff @ J&L an e-mail.

Honestly the tank was great. I had it so simple, T5's, Softies, LPS, Gorgonians, easy fish, kalk top off, no sump.
