Sorry to hear about your leak. I hope that you're able to get everything figured out. If I had my system running and not just the display, I'd be tempted to get the clowns, but sadly I can't give them a good home right now. I hope everything works out for you.

Sorry to hear about your situation...Are you going to be selling any equipment?

 

[superstein61]

Nate - thanks. I was able to get the leak slowed enough to a slow drip using some marine epoxy all along the bottom front glass. Of course it looks like hell - but it reduced the leak so I only lost 3/4 inches of water in 20 hours and I was able to catch that in a bucket. Apparently the who seal in the bottom front failed. Don't know why - if it was age or ???

James - Thanks.

Thanks to those who bought all of my livestock and helped me break down the tank. It was good to know the livestock all found a good home with several reef fanatics - and the help breaking down the tank was much appreciated.

Hugo - yes, I will be selling equipment. I will post a list in the next day or two

I am putting the tank and stand (its a 72 gallon bowfront) on craigslist in case someone wants to spend time fixing it. The tank will require scraping . sanding off the marine epoxy (its not pretty and may take a bit of effort to get off - like I said i was trying to do what I could to stop the leak) and resealing everything. The stand overall is in good shape. There are a few areas that will need sanded where some of the marine epoxy got on the lip of the wood - but other than that, the stand is in good shape.

In case anyone wants it - asking $50 for the tank (the tank is not cleaned and needs the work described above - you take it as is). Also asking $150 for the stand (stand was store bought made for the 72 gallon bowfront - light maple shade.

Sorry no pics available right now

Unfortunately, a lot of bowfronts eventually end up failing due to the greater stress on the front glass. One of my customers had an old model all-glass 72 and the entire top brace split right in the middle, causing the glass to pull away from the back wall by about 1/8th of an inch. You could see water through the hole in the brace. I feel they are especially sensitive if you're not 100% careful about leveling the tank prior to filling it.

Thanks - I always wondered about that and unfortunately found out.

FYI - I am starting a new thread with all my equipment for sale for those who are interested
