Need help fast.

My tank sprung a leak sometime during the night. I've lost water already to the floor and now I'm left with some emergency decision.

I'm fixing to have an emergency sale to get rid of the coral that I can't run safely in my fuge... In fact I will keep as much of my zoas and acans that I am safely able to house in my sump.

I thinking I want to go with a 210 or so RR tank, and that will cost me a bit.... But it will be in the same location which means I'm going to have to completely remove my tank.

If any of you know of a tank, stand and and a sump.... LMK.

If ever you wanted a deal on a coral colony, now is the time to take advantage and trust me it would be helping me out.

If you're nearby and can house a coral colony or two please let me know.

Thanks, dude. I'm hoping that as well.

That tank won't do, Jeremy, it's got several deep gouges in the glass.

Thanks guys.

Ben is on his way over with a 75 as a temp home and ace is coming over as well to grab some coral to hold for me.

I'm definitely downsizing though so I will have to get rid of a lot of life stock. I'm probably going to go with a zoa lps with only a few sps tank.... Only I have to find... And buy... A tank.

I hate this. Even though I like the idea of downsizing, I'd just as soon not doing it under pressure.

Tristan has that 75 drilled on back setup hes trading. Looks clean and hes trading. A 75 is a managable 4ft of coral space that can be moved.

Never fun...wish I had my 210 repaired so I could offer it up. If there is anything else you need, post up, maybe we can help. I had to come back to work today, but can help later tonight if you need some extra paws.

I'd be willing to help you downsize. I'd like to get another piece of that stubor staghorn, I lost mine with an alk crash. :cry_smile: Well, most of it, but it will take some time to recover.

Sorry to be late to this as well. I've got the MAAST 29 sitting here empty. You want me to run it over?

Oh, and I've got a 48" canopy with 4 T5s in it. Plus plenty of pumps. And salt.

Thanks Bill, I'm good at the moment.

Ben came over with his 75 gallon tank and 1,000 gallon sump to help soften the blow.

Wabbabong, I'm keeping the vlam.

Thanks for the thoughts and offers for help, folks. Right now I just want a Motrin and some food.

Oh crap! Not the beast tank. Sorry, Allan. That is the worst. I have my tanks open if you need to hold anything over until you get situated. I'm out of town. But margo is there.

I think you may have exaggerated just a tad on the size o' the sump. :)

Glad to be of service.
