ChrisQ Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Out of the frying pan, into the fireWoke this morning to a sizzling electrical outlet (drip loop wasn't good enough) my hob skimmer has been clogging up a overflowing lately so half asleep i didn't think much of it, then i realized i removed the skimmer the night before for cleaning. So after i got everything dried up under the stand and electrical dried up and replaced MORE DRIPS! after tracing the source i found the back/bottom of the 55g is leaking.Normally this would be no problem for me being i have a few other tanks running, problem is none of them can support the livestock in the 55g due to tanks either being too small, no skimmer or other fish that cant exactly be together.I'm at a serious loss here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishmanmike01 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Agreed. $40 for a 40 breeder is a cheap lifeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Could you just brute trash can the fish and everything and re-seal the seams? If you don't want sand in the whole tank I've seen people take a Tupperware and fill it with sand for a "wrasse" bed of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombertech Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Pff, wrasse will be fine! I have a melanarus and coris that sleep in the rocks (haven't had sand in over a year). But, Blue Z is right, a wrasse bed is always an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicyclebill Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Chris, I've got two 18g totes, and 25g and 40g brute containers you can borrow while reworking the 55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisQ Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Chris, I've got two 18g totes, and 25g and 40g brute containers you can borrow while reworking the 55. That would be great Bill, i've been trying to figure out how to move all these fish between 3 tanks and make fresh SW with only 4 5g buckets. I'll get a hold of you as soon as i can. Thank you Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
