What a day...

[818]

My cousin calls @ 8:00am tells me his tank is leaking...Im like leaking?!

So I head on over there and I look at his floor Im like what the hell!!!Flood....

So I drain all the water out, take the rocks out and clean everything. Apply silicone to teh broken sealent that burst, let it cure for 8 hours. In the meantime we head out to buy some stuff to help clean the floor, and get everything back on track.

We have 7 30g bins filled with water,fish,rock,inverts,and sand.

Arrive home from the pet store with a cleaner shrimp, and a blue tang that orginaly were going in there but where also added to the holding containers. HAha weird yes I know...(we should have gotten more dry towels):lol:

LIGHTS GO OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad2: Like what the hell!! Its like 100F inside now!
I add water and then the tank starts leaking again but now from another spot?!!

So I drain again remove sand,rocks,water and completley vaccum this thing spotless, blade all the damn sealent out. In the house with no electricity hot like a mother sweating cursing and just doing and finishing what needs to be done for the sake of the fish.

Apply new sealent in the interior of the tank. Clean floor again, bag the fish up and take them home with me.

I just finshed a big plate of shrimp cocktail, and I sit here typing letting you all know how much I love this hobby WHAT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!


Holla at yo boi!!!!!

All is good. Got the tank up and running now. I just have so many bottles of silicone because people are always asking me to make them sumps. I only work with glass. Acrylic is another thing.

Anyway Im going to go over and take some pics of my cousins set up. And his homemade chiller that you people need to make to help your fish out a bit.
