The new year disaster

[coralman]

It all started New Year's Eve at 7:30 am.When I was woke up by my wife because my tank was making a weird noise so I got up and find my tank has sprung a leak with about 50 gallons of water on the floor.So it started to be a bad end to the old year and a bad start to the new year. I was able to score a new tank at an awesome price. Got it set up today and letting it cycle for a few days before I put my fish in.

Ah man that sucks. Sounds like an excuse for an upgrade

So the year ended bad but the start was good? New tank?

 

[coralman]

No not on carpet but on new hard wood flooring that sucks.
my lfs had a 120,150 and a 180 in stalk so it is the 120 for know.
When we move my wife said that I get the 180 with all the trimmings.
she was more upset then I was so come on move I want my 180.

Up date got new tank up and running everything is doing fine. This will be new build one of two that will happen this year.
The next build will be my 180 gallon with all the trimmings, to give you an idea it will have three radons,two mp40 's
custom stand and canopy and two custom sumps that will connect together by a 2'' acrylic tube and two protein skimmers. The stand and canopy build will start next month.

as a recap new years eve morning my 150 opened up at the seem and had water everywhere.
spent the day draining the tank and setting up new tank. i got the new tank from my LFS who had one on hand
so the new tank has been running for a months know, i lost three fish through this whole ordeal which is not to bad
i think could of been worse. during the last month i have been adding new corals and a new sea urchin.
the tank is doing great and will post pics tomorrow this was a smaller build then i wanted to do but it fits my stand
thanks for all your help.
