LF 29g Deep Pre drilled, kinda an emergency

[Bowels]

Last night my DT cracked down the back. I need to find a (preferably) pre drilled 29g deep today. If anyone knows where I can find this in the area I would greatly appreciate it. Here's what happened.

ey yey yey,My tank has had the overflow box and return in it for months but I put in a new sump when I got home from work (5:40) and started putting water in it, I turned the pump on with like 4g in the pump part of the sump and tested out that the overflow box worked and everything, it did so I continued to make water and pour it in.

around (9pm) my gf was cutting onions at the table and she heard a crack, and called me, and I ran over and heard water, and I looked and water was gushing out the back of the tank. I quickly slathered a ton of silicone on the back to seal it off, and held it with towels (she quickly ran and got towels) then I started siphoning water into buckets and the sump, and grabbing corals and putting them in the sump and buckets,

now we have everything in buckets and the sump, all the gravel out in a bucket, and all the water out. I called off of work tomorrow so i can SCOUR the surrounding area for someplace that has a predrilled 29g deep.

I can't help with the tank, but you could get a non drilled and worry about it later. Make sure you have water flow and heat in each bucket, or things won't be going well in the morning.

If you can find a tank, someone in B-lo should be able to drill it for you. If you were in Rochester, I'd be more than glad to help you out.

I actually have a 29 gallon that is drilled that I do not need. It's over at a friends house. I'll try to get ove to pick it up so I can send you a picture. $20.

I'm in Rochester. I've got frags too. If you make it out here I'll hook you up.

Thank you emm0909. I will message you tomorrow I am going to try and find one in the area in the morning. I talked to Randy from ARC and he is going to look and see if he has one in the morning. Jolopy offered to let me borrow a tank in case I need one. So that is awesome. Thanks for the help guys. Right now my corals and LR should be ok, I have the LR without corals in a bucket, and all the corals and rocks with corals in the sump (with the fish) so Im sure they are not gonna be happy.

Oh and btw I do have a heater and powerhead in each. Im just a bit freaked out lol

 

[emm0909]

You're good man. You'll be fine. We've all had our day.

tragic =(

 

[Bowels]

I Know! poor guys. Everyone is ok for now.

that stinks!!! Make sure you have a heater and powerhead in with the live rock also if you can so you dont have a die off and spikes when yo put it back together!!

That stinks, good luck with everything!! Im about an hour away, but also have a spare 30 gallon if you needed it for a little while. Or you could hit up wallmart and get a cheap rubbermaid bin to hold everything.
When this happened to me on my 120 long i had 2 rubbermaid bins set up with my lights sitting on top of the bins and it worked for a week. My dinning room look like hell though with all that on my table!!

haha worst comes to worse Im just going to run over to petsmart and get a 30g undrilled and maybe drive to rochester later this week and get an drilled one. ugh

 

[Bowels]

Its funny my daisys look happier than they ever have been in the bucket lol

Mike tells me your picking up a pretty sweet replacement. Hope it works out for you!
