my wife and i enjoy the great hobby of a reef tank. we currently have a 135 gallon tank with about 2 grand worth of live rock, asorted coral,and 3 small fish. tis a wondeful thing to look at -until now!
we just found a leak in the side of the tank, and in a span of about 5 minutes the size of the leak doubled! this could get ugly-135 gallons on a hard wood floor wont be pretty-
for those who arent familiar with this hobby i gotta tell ya ,you cant just empty the water and put new water in a tank from the faucet--the water has to cycle through many stages before it will sustain life-
we are currently putting water in 50 gallon trash cans to preserve it until we are able to get a new tank. bad news is we have to leave about 70 gallons in the leaking tank to keep the corals ect alive--good news is the water level is below the leak. i just hope the tank holds until tuesday night/wednesday morning or we are out a bunch o' cash
keep your fingers crossed !
