Any updates? Do you know what's going to happen with the 400 gal yet?

Awsome service on your part, and the icing on the cake goes to the bus company!

Enjoyed listening to it Marc!

job well done!!!!!!!!!!!

looked at the build and the sump looks great! you did a good job and I love how you went out of your way to make sure he had it in time and that shows that you have a lot of integrity and thats hard to find these days!

OUCH.
Been of the forums lately and its a shock to read about this.
To think that my tank design is very similar to yours without that acrylic brace though. So I'm hoping it is the cuase of the issue.
Hope the manufacturer solves it smoothly and quickly for you so that all goes back to normal soon with no losses...
Are you connecting the temp setup to the existing sump for filtration and dosing...
this hobby sure got its ups and downs!!!
Any plans for the temp tank when all is back in place?

What are you going to do about the 400 gal?

Marc, I'm off all week with nothing planned, if you need any assistance let me know, would be more then happy to help out.

Hey Marc, like others I'm sad that you have to go through all this. I pray that everything goes smoothly! ;-) I too, wish we lived closer. I would definitely helped ya.

It so sad that you are having to this again.

Marc, glad to see the critters are safe. hope they are adjusting to the temporary home, this one sure does beat the living room setup from a year ago. With all the good things you have done for the hobby it is great to see that others were able to pay it forward with the loaner tank and helping hands.

Wow, I can only imagine what a big job that was. I've swapped and moved a 50 gal set-up a couple time, and that was an all day affair.

I hear you on the sump. I struggled for years without one, now I can't imagine not having one.

OneReef, I think the theory is that the lexan panel in front of the overflow was too wide and put extra pressure on the seams.

Glad you found something to help out. After being off Reef Addicts for a few weeks, I log in and the first thing I see is the Title "The temporary Aquarium is here" I about fell out of my chair.... lol

Am I understanding this correctly? The overflow box made the water levels uneven in/near the overflow box, which caused unequal pressure on the seams and caused the leak? Just trying to keep up.....ha

OMG. I don't get on the site for a couple of weeks, and I miss the big stuff. Ouch, I hope this turns out well. If I remember right you weren't really happy with your current tank (mainly after the loss of SPS) but maybe this will be an opportunity to start over and get things just like you want it. Gotta look for the silver lining. I had deactivated my Facebook account a couple of weeks ago. Guess I need to reopen it to catch things like this.....

OK. 10' is too long.

Nice to meet you @ Max & enjoyed your presentation- chock full of pictures, plus with some humor added it ended up being informative & entertaining. Hope to make MACNA.

Yeah, I'm very familiar with the 700g - and I wouldn't want it. It's 10' long.

Life is full of small blessinngs happy Easter
