My devastating news. Saturday approx between 3am and 7am the bottom seal on the 150 gallon replacement tank I was borrowing failed. A factory seal. The bottom of the tank bowed out breaking the seal in the center of the rear of the tank. The result was loss of over 150 gallons of water on the floor, loss of 13 of fish and half a dozen corals.
(FYI the tank was completely level, I checked every other day for the last month to check for settling since the 125 failed)
Luckily I had my wifes 46 gallon tank and the 40 gallon frag tank that we stuffed full of coral and the fish we saved.
The sad part is no replacement tank. No cash for one, and nothing to really trade for one.
So.. I will be posting a few things for sale in the for sale forum. I've got far more livestock than the other tanks can handle for a long term.
What a sad weekend for my family.. The house just doesn't feel the same without that big tank. My 5 year old and 6 year old boys have asked me all morning where all the pretty fish and stuff are..
After the first of the year we plan on starting over on tax season comes around. New tank, new gear.
But its gona be a long 3 months waiting..
