I was having fun with my new 120 until I woke up this morning and noticed a crack forming in the bottom right corner of the aquarium!
Does anyone out there have a 120 for sale??? I only need the tank. My current 120 is the 5' L tank.
 
Wish I could help, but i don't know anyone with a 5' L 120. Hope it is just a crack right now and not leaking!!

With it being the weekend, I'm sure more people are on here then other times

Good luck!!!!!!

Thanks Sean,
I am in total panic mode right now. I just need to run to HD and get some tubs to store everything in.......why me!!!
:confused:
 
Did you just buy the 120 new or get it used? If you just bought it new you should have no problem getting it replaced with a new one. If on the other hand you bought it used just recently, I'd say call up the person who sold it to you and maybe they'll give you your money back or at least part of it. In the meantime its gonna be rubbermaid containers. very sorry to hear about this, but you should be back up and running in no time!
 
GSX-
I bought the tank used. I purchased it over a month ago. Do you think Im going to have to eat the cost or should I try to get some money back?
I think my ship is sunk on this one!
 
I would think being a month old your eating it. Sorry but I would figure the person you bought it from will say sorry was not cracked whne I sold it. Good luck either way
 
yeah he's probably right, no harm in asking though. I would give him a call and tell him what happened and ask if the tank was ever dropped prior to you buying it or if it ever sustained any hard hits. I'm sure he'll say no and sorry about what happened but he may also make an offer too... might be worth a shot?
 
I should also mention that I'd be kind of suprised if the entire day goes by and nobody on here has anything to help you out with. Good luck!
 
Eric, sorry to read about your tank, that is a horrible feeling when you first notice a crack in your tank. Although it would be nice to have some one to share in the cost of your loss I'm going to have to agree with weaver5. I sell a lot of corals here on RC and I am all about service but in this case if it were me on the selling end I just don't know if I would be able to share in the cost. There is always going to be a risk in purchasing used equipment and especially a used glass tank. And unfortunately it is common for glass tanks to be damaged or weakened during a move.

If you haven't already purchased containers you might look at getting one of the large Rubbermaid often used by reefers as fuges. A 100 gallon Rubbermaid would be able to support all of your inhabitants and LR for an extended period of time while you search for a new tank or while the one you have is being repaired. Maybe someone on our board has one you could borrow, if not most feed stores carry them.
 
You never answered if it was leaking? If not you might be able to buy a day of two. (of course be prepared with tubs and such)
Being a Weekend buying a new tank might be hard. It is a large tank and would have to be ordered. Look at Artful-Dodgers (spelling) link to all the LFS in CO. A long trip(2-3) hours might be worth it.

Let us know whats happening!!!!

:sad2:
Well, right after posting on here I went downstairs and disaster had struck! The crack extended its way all the way accross the front up to the right hand corner.
Water was everywhere.
It was the worst feeling ever seeing that! I managed to get all the LR and corals into a rubbermaid for the time being. I am still in a state of shock.
I will be looking for an acrylic tank soon, so if anybody knows of one for sale please let me know.....
The carpet man should be here soon. I will post pics of the maham later......
Sad, sad day
 
I have a 75 Gal with stand that you could borrow right now.

I am in Longmont near 66th & Hover.

I am leaving for the meeting in the next couple minutes. Were you able to get buckets and all set up?

Call me on my cell if you need something.

Some pics of the tank (or whats left of it). I had the LR, corals, and fish moved into a 55 that I had laying around. Hopefully some of the life makes it. Its a real bummer because I just had my new sump and refug finished yesterday and I had my ASM G2 up and cranking. Pulled out some seriously foul stuff.
Once again, if anybody knows of anyone selling a RR acyrlic tank please let me know. Any good deals at any fish stores please let me know as well. I need to get a new tank within the week. Thanks for all the responses and the help! I really do appreciate it.
