Sorry guys I did not post anything since september!! many things happend...
but this is one of the most stressfull situation I personnally had to date:
let me tell you about our near aquarium catastrophe...
december 23th 2009, 7pm... we are cleaning the house for out xmas eve party with 12 guests... dear husband is cleaning the front pannel of the tank with the magnetic brush... and ears a "crac"... to our horror a 1 inch crac appears in the inside glass, without pearcing trough...
PANIC IN THE HOUSE
we decided to get to our FS and get a new tank before it break...
10pm we arrive with the new tank, a 150g (60x24x27) we had to call the brother in law to get is mini-van to bring the tank back...
we get more then 20 plastic rubermaid containers on the floors and start to transfert water,LR, fish, corals....
midnight we move the old tank, put the new one in place... get started on plumbing (the new tank has overflows)...
2am we start transfering the sand in the the new tank, adding 70g of new watrer
3am start putting water, LR, corals and fish back in the aquarium...
we found our female swallowtail angelfish on the side on the bottom of a container.. not breathing too much... I decided to do like fisherman who release their pray: I move her under water to revive her... and it works!!!
4:30am we finally get to bed.. but I have to say that I did not sleep much
So here's the 150g tank... we replace the corals and sold the huge LTA...
everything is doing good.
