OMG - the 400g is leaking

Rate this Entry
I'm sorry to report that the 400g tank is leaking. I was about to go to sleep, and thought I heard water splashing on the floor. And it was, unfortunately.

I caught this very early, well before the floor drain could work its magic, but for now the 400g has been drained about 50% for the night, and tomorrow I need to make some calls to see who can fix this locally.

I'm very unhappy as you can imagine. I have containers of saltwater near the tank, and the sump is full. The pumps were lowered in the tank to maintain flow. This is a disaster, as I'm reasonably sure it has to be taken down completely to repair it.

    I didn't know that the angels were causing problems?

    I have a little news. It turns out the manufacturer attempted to contact me via email to a dead address:

    Hi Marc,

    I got a stomach ache when I saw that picture. After all that was put into that tank, both to design and build and set up on your end, and then this....
    We've been on the phone today trying to decide what the best approach is, but so far I'm getting a good feeling about reaching a resolution.

    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.....
