Yikes. Very sad story to read let alone experience. Good luck on a rapid recovery and rebuild /George

Wow - you really work fast. Welcome to WAMAS!

Bob - I enjoyed seeing your tank today when i picked up some zoas (they are all doing well). Man - I just gotta get a bigger tank! /George

Sorry to hear of your loss. Sometimes you need to take a step back before you leap forward. Good luck.

I blew into the air intake to get mine started

That's a very nice tank. Keep up the great work /George

Wow - great idea.

From the vast world wide web Make sure it is the tank that is leaking. Sometimes a hang-on power filter is overflowing or leaking, or an airstone is spraying water out the back corner, or a piece of paper, cloth or tubing is dangling into the water and "wicking" water out. Empty the water - and everything else - from the tank. The sealant will need to applied to the inside of the aquarium, where it will be pushed into the seam by water pressure. Remove old sealant with a razor blade scraper. If the leak is apparent on a side seam, remove all the sealant from the entire length of seam. If water appears mysteriously at the tank's bottom, scrape out all four bottom seams. Prepare the seam. Some aquarists use rubbing alcohol to remove oily fingerprints, others simply wipe with a damp rag. It is essential that the area be extremely clean and completely dry. Buy silicone sealer. It doesn't matter if you get it at the local fish store or hardware store, but make sure the packaging plainly indicates that the product is safe for aquarium use. Some products contain toxic mildew-retarding chemicals that will kill fish. Apply sealer. Hold the tube at an angle and push it forward while squeezing out the sealer, forcing sealer into gaps. Some hobbyists then run their fingers down the bead, further pushing the sealer, but sealer is extremely difficult to remove from skin, so this is not recommended. If you feel a need to manipulate a wet seal, lay clean, dry plastic bags over the seals first. Leave bags in place until sealer is dry; they will then peel off easily. Allow to cure. Follow sealant manufacturer's directions as to how long to wait before re-filling tank. Adding water too soon will weaken the seal and possibly contaminate the water.

"When I was growing up I was always taught that if you borrow something you should give it back in as good or better condition then how you got it" -you were brought up well. Others, not so much. I think that in this club that the good far outweighs the bad. I hope your post "encourages" some to be better borrowers.

If you do go to Rozens, please report back. They are a unique operation Thanks

Some people buy water from Wal-Mart at 35

Usually 4-7 days

Is? I think the word you need is WAS.

The other usual culprit is not enough water movement in the area in addition to too much nutrients

I think it;s pretty simple - you can drain 600 gph at best, if you pump in more than that you will have trouble Mag 12 stats Head Height (in feet) Gallons per Hour 0' 1200 1' 1200 2' 1180 3' 1150 4' 1130 5' 1120 6' 950 7' 810 8' 710 9' 650 10' 600 11' 500 12' 450 13' 300 14' 130 It looks like trouble to me

I'd do 2 or 3 medium

Wow - that takes me back. I used to go into Wally's with my friends just to look around. I guess you also reference the pet store at Parkington? I like Oscars back then and used to frequent Home TV Aquarium (name?) that used to be at Glebe and Rt 50 - just to get feeders. As best I can recall - there was no marine critters.

Well after trying for a while, I finally captured my Domino Damsel and sent him off to a friend. That fish was the worst thing I did to my tank. He had a bad-attude and was just plain evil. Getting rid of him is the best thing I have done for my tank in a long time. My fish are swimming out in the open more; my fire shrimp has reappeared after 2 mths of not seeing him, and I saw my serpent star as well. There is joy in the tank once again
