First fish in "the Ark"

[subman]

Wow that sucks! Sorry man.

Yah it sucks, but if your in this hobby you have to expect to get wet once in a while

I have a piece of 3/4" this time just to be sure. Should have all five bulkhead holes finished tonight and it siliconed back in. Man, drilling 3/4" is a lot of work! The hawks are doing fine in the sump and the other fish are happily exploring the extra rock in the 120. Once it's ready for water I think I will do a big change on the 120 and use it in the 75. My storage tank is only 35 gallon so I'll be busy making fresh for the next couple of days.

You already have! Those diamond bits did the charm quite nicely. The bottom is in and plumbed, just have to wait for the silicone to set up..then it's leak test time! I'll post some "rebuild" pics soon.

I'd say... no anger at all. I would not be happy!...but the bottom blows out and the only response is cheery as can be

Can't let life get you down too much...especially with this recession! I've experienced this disaster before, about 20 years ago I had a plywood build let go (I didn't do the math right) and about 15 years ago a 33 gallon freshwater blew the front out while I was out of town for work. The missus at the time was not impressed! I kept the tank, but eventually gave up the wife

No sense of adventure, I sometimes wonder what life would be like when, not all wet, he
he!
