Wow that sucks Kean, We'll talk to you later. But get things in place, heater, power heads.

Default Thanks for the info everyone

I was hoping to wake up this morning with a clear idea of what I was wanting to do. Sadly, just as frustrated as when I tried to go to sleep last night. I keep coming back to the same thought that I really don't have the time to do this properly. I have a couple of different jobs I do and a great many projects related to them that keep me active. But I was really happy with the tank for the last couple of days and I could see how in 6 months when everything settled into the new tank and new lights that things would have been stunning! I had no intention of leaving the hobby a couple of days ago or even one second before this happened. But now, again, I think I don't have the time and I should just move on. I got powerheads and heat on before going to bed. Today I will be setting up my old tank again but the stand no longer fits it so the tank will be one the floor. Things will be okay. If i am to get out I will be listing things for sale later today and hope to wrap it all up as soon as possible.

just go out to your LFS and get another tank. a 27gl should'nt be to hard to find at a LFS that will drill it well you wait or call in advance . Much easier the fixing a cracked tank of that size.
If your stand is not right try to correct it and ensure your flat and level befor to fill the new tank.

Aw that sucks. Well, I just wanted to mention that Raf & I have "emergency services" and we could always come out in a jiff (anytime!). I would suggest just getting a new tank, especially a 40 gallon, due to cost. Its just not worth the hassel and headache to replace or repair the bottom payne. If you needed an extra hand setting up/tearing down I am sure there are lots of canreefers that would help, as could we.

And there is nothing wrong with taking a break from reefing. Sometimes it allows time for motivation and inspiration to build up.

Sorry to hear about your mishap. If you get a new tank and you are available on Saturday I would happily help you drill a new hole. I have bits for 3/4 - 1.5 inch bulkheads.

Just pm me if you need to.
