The ReefBox Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 To all my fellow reefers need help asap. I broke my leg today and came home from ER to noise in fish room. My tank seem came apart and water on ground leak is stopped and I have circulation for fish. I would like to see if a few good people can come my way with 55 gallon drums and assist getting rocks, corals and fish out. Can anyone house corals, and fish? 360-904-7666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisQ Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hey Brian, sorry to hear this, do you have it under control? I have a couple brutes that my nephew and i can probably swing by and give you a hand if you still need some extra hands. Coming up from Tigard so it will take a few.

Emerald525 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hey Brian you are having a bad day! I'm glad you found the help you needed. I'm still at work but let me know if there is anything else you need. Sorry to hear about your broken leg and a tank leak at the same time. That's some rough luck right there!

youcallmenny Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 So, what'd you do to your leg? Why did the seam bust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil&Fin Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I've got two 55-gallon containers and a pick up truck. I can head up your way anytime. Just say the word. I can't help with lifting anything though because I'm a girl and Jorge said it just wouldn't be right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonmfg Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The seam on your new tank??? Glad you've got it under control, let me know if you need anything else there's a good possibility I might have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ReefBox Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I just need to say this club is like family. I had a major disaster today and so many people stepped up to help in some way or another. I want to take a minute to thank a few very special people that dropped what thy were doing and help make this terrible day end faster and knowing that all my stuff is in good hands. Jorge Roy (Stylaster) and his wife Jim (gumby) Scott (spectra) Jeff (cuttlefish and corals) These 6 did not hesitate to come to my rescue. Hillsboro, Beaverton, kelso.....they came! Tank was down in about two hours and now they are home still workings at putting corals away. Words cannot express my how thankful I am to be apart of this family. To those.i did not list you are not forgotten, just too many. So to all that offered, or sent a kind message.....thank you from the bottom of my heart, As far as the tank goes, Mike from OBD assured me he will make good by this tragedy and I belief him. So to those that have tanks by him......rest well knowing he has integrity, honesty and will do the right thing. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danlu_gt Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yikes, just saw this. Got spare skimmer if you need. Now I'm scared about my tank. Can you tell where it failed at? Any update from Mike?

Any update from Mike? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk The back seam on left corner. Split apart and separated from euro brace. He said he is working on logistics to getting my tank picked up and then will see why it failed. How old is your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
