sprung a leak at some point last night.......not much water made it to the floor, but the floor under the tank is definitely wet*just what I need.....damage the hardwood floor two months before I move*.....I found the leak(one of my hose clamp connections) and quickly fixed it, but in the process I created another leak at the bulkhead......I go to grab the big channel-lock pliers the give the bulkhead a turn...... and doh!.......Mikey has all my pliers and wrenches!.......@#$*......now Ive got a drippy bulkhead.......thats when frustration set in and I managed to get the bulkhead tightened(ever so slightly) by hand.....seems to have stopped the leak, but will have to snug it more later when I get decent pair o pliers.....I sat there for an hour trying to get the water under the tank to leech into towels.......got a big fan blowing in the general direction......hopefully I didnt bugger the floor up

Some great pics Doug ! You know whats gonna happen when you do that little bit extra tightening don't ya . Remember Mr T -" I pitty the fool" That sums up having to move your tanks . If I can help in anyway when you move Doug let me know.

When you need them, those big channel locks sure do come in handy.
Good thing you noticed the leak when you did.

D'oh!! When it rains it pours.. Unless you live in Calgary where it rains and snows.. And the snow comes at you at a horizontal vector.

Soooooooo sorry to hear this Doug. I hope the floor will be okay. Crossing my fingers and toes for you.

Pictures look great as usual.

Think you're looking at the floor spill from the wrong perspective though. I'd be all "Meh .. what's the landlord gonna do? EVICT ME?"
