Higher Thinking Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 At least it's not the reef! My 75 gal planted, fresh has sprung a leak! Nothing too devastating but a noticeable puddle surrounding the tank. I'm currently draining it into a 50 gallon barrel atm. I'm in a pretty desperate need for a replacement. Anyone selling a standard 75 gal tank? I need it asap, obviously. Thanks all! And pictures just because: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 NOOOOO!!! Sorry to hear that man, that tank was awesome. I wish I could help you out but I am too far away and have no 75. I feel your pain though as I have had several tanks go out on me over the years, infact one just a few weeks ago. Someone on the forum has to have a 75 they need to get rid of...Or a 90 maybe?

The ReefBox Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 So sorry bout this news.....I so know how this goes. Good luck on the search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I don't have a 75 - but I've got a 180 I've offered up to a few people on here lately. Upgrade time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ohh no! That sucks Andrew. There has to be someone with a tank of that size ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks you guys. Here it is in all its glory: Upgrade to the 180, huh? That is real tempting, especially because my filter is rated for 400 gallons! The biggest drawback would be having to get lights and then inspect/reinforce the floor. My wife is immediately opposed, but I'm not. Although I think I'm just living in fantasy land right now. Hopefully someone will have a 75. I'm sure I could snag something from CL if all else fails. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBlue Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Dang that sucks man! Just look at the positives, it didn't blow a seam while you were gone, you caught it before it was terrible! Hope everything turns out ok for you. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yikes! Sorry to hear Andrew but glad you caught it early. Sorry, no 75 sitting around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Rumor was petco had 70 gallon tanks in dollar per gallon sale, not sure if it is true though . Sorry bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Thanks Jeramy. I got one off CL for $75. I haven't seen pics, so hopefully it's in good shape like they say it is. I'm supposed to get in Monday evening as both myself and the seller are out of town this weekend. Should have everything put back together Monday night.

yikesjason Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 That is rough. I have had two split seams, one of them a complete blowout on a 125. The freshwater sure is a lot easier to deal with though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
