I'm so sorry to hear that.

I know how you feel (well, we probably all do, at some point). Take some time to grieve but press forward. You'll likely have more regrets about ending it on a note like that than if you kept with it.

That's so sad, sorry.

Oh yeah I can't give up the hobby for sure. I just meant I may take some time away from it for a bit but I doubt it because Im pretty attached to my porc too and I would have to give him up.

Thanks to all you guys for the support.

I really do wish I knew what happened though. I guess it doesnt matter but I can't help but feel I did something wrong, just can't think of what it could have been.

Thanks Jason. Well everyone here makes it impossible to give up because you constantly see great, beautiful tanks and fish! Plus you guys have all been so helpful with setting this tank up over the past month or so, I would hate to see it all go to waste.

I guess my fiance and I will rethink the sticking of this tank now but most likely it will be the same just with one less. Maybe just the Porcupine and eel. My fiance has always wanted a Dogface Puffer but I do not think I want another Puffer.

Jason I was just checking out your Tank Blog and man that FTS is gorgeous! What a beautiful tank! I was actually just out in Ladner last weekend, I should have seen if you had a few minutes to show it to me. Maybe next time.

Well I was just looking through old pictures of Crush back in the big tank and thought I would post a few...

He looks so little in these pics!

Ok, back to the tank!

I filled the tank with about 10G of water this morning but had to stop. Seems that the overflow has a slow leak near the bottom, so when I add water tot he tank it gets into the overflow a little. This is obviously a problem.

My question is, do I need to get the water back out completely to add more silicone to the overflow or can it be done wet? Im guessing it all has to come out.

Thanks. I have lost fish in the past of course but its never felt like this. None of them were quite as personable as this guy or really connected with me like he did.
