It's holding for now. With a slow leak. I don't have the money for a new tank until Friday
Any one have tank for sale on payment plan?
 
OMG! Yikes!!! I don't know the size of your current tank. I can give you my old 50G with stand (tall/glass/not drilled) if you want it. It has been sitting there unused since my upgrade to 150G. It's not pretty, but it can tie you over until you get your new tank cycled.

It's very heavy (old style tank); thus, you would need a truck or SUV to transport, as it doesn't fit in my car. I can help you load.

I have a 55g in the garage, needs cleaned
 
I have cube tank im selling its about 180 gallons see thread called crazy cube tank don't have a stand or anything
 
If it's only a temporary situation, I would just go to Home Depot and get a couple of those shallow rubber bins and put everything in there. Just make sure you have good circulation and water temp stays stable and you should be ok.

+1 on that cheapest way to do it
 
If someone has a 125g - 220g and could do 350$ a month
My number is 480-748-8854.
I'm working on a temporary solution at the moment
It figures this would happen when I'm not prepared

This tank has saved when I had a minor problem with my 75gal.. Just couldn't fit all the rock but the corals did fine with my sump running.

Let me know if you want to temporarily house something. My fish load is very low and I have a 110. Only warning is that I'm awful at catching a fish so when you want it back, we may need to enlist someone with experience.
 
Probably because pumps that create a wavelike motion can put stress on old poorly built/ poorly leveled tanks and cause problems with seams.
 
Were you using the new jebao pumps by chance?


yes a wp25 the side that failed is the side that I had the wp25 on. the tank is a leemar dimond edge tank, and I made sure the tank is perfectly level.

There was another tank a little while back that failed and had one of these pumps on it. I currently have 2 wp-40 on my tank and am always concerned since I heard the first one.
