This am i woke up to discover a pin hole leak in my 150g display in a side seam,
while im watching it trying to figure out what to do i see a 2nd and a 3rd pin hole develop
so i panic, naturally....

drain all the water up to that leak and take all the coral and rock out up the that leak- (which is about half way down)..

what i need now is to find a new tank ASAP.
ALL  I NEED IS A TANK- 135-150 gallons, if you have a 48x24x30 drilled thats perfect, if not, ill take anything drilled with a stand, I have all the equipment (obviously) perfeerably 4 ft, but im not all the picky right now :(

help....

Oh man! My worst nightmare... I don't have anything large that is ready to go but if you need  a holding tank for your livestock until you get a tank you could borrow my 220gal acrylic sump.

im really hoping i can find one by tmrw, either 120g, (so it fits on my stand, or another 150g with the same dimensions, i see a couple on kijiji that are drillled)

yea that is the small plus side to it, i think i only lost 2 gallons before i noticed it (judging by the ATO)


do you guys think that my corals would be ok for a day or so in totes as long as they have water movment and heat?

I think the corals will be fine in totes with heat, flow and an airstone
