The real reason some tanks are sold cheaply..
All livestock saved. (Thanks Alan again for your impeccable timing and assistance) Working some damage control now, lots of ballast wet etc. More later. Tank provided by Gold's. |

Man, that must have popped just as I was ringing your doorbell.
Really glad to have been there to provide the extra hands (3 people in rubber-soled footwear splashing around in the dark, scooping fishies by flashlight, Barry in emergency-response mode making sure we didn't get zapped...) And just like in a bad dream, no saltwater mixed and standing by. Bloody tank "looked" pretty well-made, too...

Definitely, the right side calved. We are speculating at this point a possible weakness. If you have any other ideas, let me know. We will certainly let Golds know, if nothing else, in case this is a reason for them to buy their cheap tanks elsewhere, or in case it has happened to anyone else. Personally, I now value my 7 year AGA guarantees a little more highly. BTW, I got every bit of sand and every bristleworm out too...might have missed the odd copepod....found a snail on the back of the algae magnet last of all....... |

Damn, that's scary. I have nightmares about that happening. Glad you were able to react so well. Hope everything works out.
