psaprilcruz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yesterday I came home from work and my tank had a small leak almost a gallon of water was gone. I ran out and got a 10 gallon because that was all I could afford. The old tank was a 20. I was able to move everything but my sand I will be able to go get some more tomorrow, but i was wondering if anyone in medford would be able to give or sell me some live to seed everything.

NoobtoSalt Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 do you guys have a petco down there? If so I think they are running their $1 sale still. Otherwise you might want to check with Jody at TECO and see if he has anything laying around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psaprilcruz Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 The closest one is in grants pass, but I don't really have the money to go get another tank right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psaprilcruz Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Well I was able to get sand today thanks to my grandparents. I got a 15lb. bag of aragonite and a 5lb bag of live aragonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 where is the leak? if it is a glass tank, I have had success redoing the silicone. It costs about $5 for a tube of silicone. CLEAN and DRY the old tank!!!! (very important) Use a razor blade to COMPLETELY remove ALL the old caulk. CLEAN again with vinegar. RINCE and DRY!!!! Goo a continuous bead of PURE silicone all around corners. Make it look pretty. You can buy tubes of silicone from pet stores, but there are also some that you can get at home depot (make sure it is PURE silicone, no additives or anti-fungal). You can do a google search to find a type that is safe to use in aquariums. dsoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psaprilcruz Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think its in the bottom of the tank, its just a small drip but I haven't been able to find its location yet. Its an old tank that I got from a family member and I am not sure what all happened to it. I am going to just save some money and try to get a nicer tank setup in a few months. Everything is doing great right now in the 10, and I am religious about weekly 25% - 50% water changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
