tank leak...HELP!!

[devids]

Hi, I woke up this morning to a half empty tank and soaked wood floors :Cry:. My 34g solana was leaking from the top corner where the glass was coming off of the silicone. I quickly removed the rest of the water and livestock into an 18g tub that I use for water changing. The fish and corals will stay in there for now, until I get everything situated.

Worst part is, I will be out of town for a whole week; leaving next saturday. so if anyone out there around everett and snohomish area who would be willing to take in some of my high end corals and fish for just a few weeks until I get the tank up again, I would be very grateful. Most of my corals are small frags of sps, zoas, and lps. I have two small clowns, two small bangaiis, and one tailspot blenny.

Thanks
Devid

Todd, how do you know she offered to help? Might have just PMed him to say he was out of luck...

Seriously, Both L and D are real good folks. Hope it works out. I would offer your tank as a holding area, but is is almost as packed as mine :>)

p.s. Mahalo? MAHALO?? perhaps Haole would be more appropriate

Yeah Todd, What he said! HAHAHA
Actually I suggested that he contact someone very well known whom would probably hold fish and coral for him for as long as he needed. Then yes if he couldnt find someone, I have a 20gal qt running and ready!

That sucks, I thought I warned you about those.

That sucks, I thought I warned you about those.

Is that common with the solana's? Or was is something else you warned him about. Just curious!

 

[devids]

I know, i shoulda listened to you, Rob.

Thanks everyone for the offer. I thought the corals would start dying off one by one due to the spike of ammonia from the water being stirred up but seems like they are doing ok. so I think I will leave them in the tub for now. hopefully they will recover soon...
