Doubtful. I'm reading up though. I don't really have aggressive fish (the chromis are the most of all of them) so we'll see.

Now I have to come over for dinner!!!! Congrats.

Great timing...with thanksgiving and lots of guests coming... I have a leak somewhere...the carpet around my tank is moist. I am dreading the tear down like a lump in my stomach right now.

That sucks! I hope its nothing major. Good luck. Let me know if you need any assistance.

I'm going to see how "wet" things are tonight and decide how to approach it. I have a feeling the sump is leaking which is an easy fix, but what do I do with the carpet under the tank and wood flooring below that? Ideally i need to move the tank to do a proper job cleaning everything... I really don't want to start this tank over...

Sorry to hear Inevo , always pain in the a... when something goes wrong ,hope this is an easy fix

 

[lnevo]

Thanks Marek..maybe you know where i can get a temp tank and/or some holding bins

 

[Marek-S]

I got bunch off Rubbermaid from Home Depot for my transfer , after I finished with everything I returned them ( not a cool thing to do but ...... )

 

[Marek-S]

Do you know where the leak is ?

 

[lnevo]

Not yet. But pretty sure its the sump. I'm more worried about the carpet and floor underneath so I think i need to move the tank to do a proper job

Ohhhhh
So that's a project , need to empty out everything

 

[lnevo]

Yeah pretty much. I'm thinking I can pull everything out of the sump and clear that out, then drain the tank to a few inches and move the stand and tank together. Then fill it back and run it with powerheads for as long as I need

 

[lnevo]

Its on carpet, i can probably get those coasters underneath

 

[Marek-S]

I have those coasters and I'm off on weekends , if need some man power - let me know

 

[lnevo]

Thanks man. Gonna try and see what I can do tomorrow. If it extends to the weekend I'll keep everyone posted!

So i haven't done much at all yet. Still in denial and procrastination, plus I've been busy as **** at work. **** is not doing well. I realized I haven't fed tank in a week. Cleaned the glass today and felt around the tank and it no longer feels damp. Either way, if it continues as such then maybe I'll just plan a day to remove the sump, clean everything out, and redo the plumbing. If I find any damage, I can leave the sump offline while I get plan b into motion.

Coral wise, my monti's look really bad, i dont know if they can recover, green slimer has been receding a bit, my open brain is finally succombing. Some other acros look down. There's a lot still looking well, just sucks when we get into these cycles. Will try and get my act in gear. I have to get my water tested..maybe I'll get a pack of triton test kits
