cracked tank
That sure sucks and its all my fault...
My 60 glns frag tank was holding 40 mother colonies of acans,pink torch,plates,and a couple pink tip elegant coral.In the plans of fragging this weekend.I wedged a power head between the 2 over flow pipes for extra circulation,lights go out and I watch TV for an hour...before going to bed I decided to do a last look at the tanks,...basement floor flooded with the aquarium room...I cracked the bottom between the pipes enought to get a good flow leek,...I spend the last 3 hours shop vacuuming the entire basement remove by jamming the corals into other tanks,wet and tired.Luckily I still have 2 large commercial dehumidifiers to run for the next few days. All that said and being busy at work tomorrow I need me to find a 4ftX16"X20" tank and drill it to have replace my mistake.....  Venting is always better than going to bet all ****ed off at my self...

thanks guys for the helping hand offers.
A special thanks to Denny and Dave for drilling my new frag tank as I am still setting it up and has to be finished by tonight as I don't need to loose any of my LPS and need to free up my other shallow frag tank for the next shipment witch will be arriving on Friday.

 well yesterday I was up cleaning until 3:30am lesson learned if it doesn't fit don't try to jam it I just finished moving most LPS to the new frag tank,tomorrow make room in the next one for the upcoming shipment. In the process I lost 2 mother colonies of pink tip torch and blue tip hammer  (17 heads in total)as My monster pink tip elegance coral stung them both over the 24hr period of stress.I will take some photos of the loss and of what I have left tomorrow.I need to sleep for 3 hrs now to make it to work tomorrow for 5am
