I first want to start off by saying thanks to ABC reefs in Syracuse for helping me out yesterday.
So I get a call from the house at 11:30 PM Friday night while I'm having some cocktails at the bar. "Your tank is leaking!" At first I thought I was getting my you know what broken but I got home and yup, it was leaking. It was gushing actually out of one of the back corners on the bottom. So my drunk *** had to act quick (buzz kill). I have a 75 gallon sump with a 75 gallon tank. Man I'm I happy I built such a big sump.
I broke the tank down in record time and shoved everything in the sump, fish and all. After another drink and a zanax I got some sleep.
The tank I bought was a 75 Gallon Deep Blue from ABC about 8 months ago. Luckily it is under warranty and they had one. I shot there and swapped the tanks yesterday morning, brought it back to Utica and began the rebuild. Finally have everything in the new tank and everything looks happy, so far. Still making some adjustments but I never thought I would be able to avoid such a possible disaster. I didn't lose anything, not a coral or fish. Crazy! What a crazy weekend. I can finally enjoy the weekend, oh wait it's Sunday night.

Glad it worked out for you.
