Oh man! That s*cks.I got a 55 gal tank that's empty.I can bring it to worcester.

Do you have containers to put your stuff into?? Start moving it out of the tank while you can still move the water around (and not off the floor). Do you have a sump that you can put some livestock into as well? Turn off the pumps going from sump to display, so you don't lose that water as well. Keep the containers circulated while trying to sort it out. Doesn't sound good at all...good luck! maybe someone is nearby that can help...

Jeff, get everything into buckets and pump the excess water outside!

Sorry to tell you, but the only thing you can do is get EVERYTHING out and into a new tank. I had a 75 blow at the seams and it was pretty ugly. Get a tank quick.

Sorry! Tam

Can you see wheather it coming from an edge or the middle?If an edge try to find it And use aquascape epoxy from the inside?Also check the corners to see it it's running down and not coming from the bottom.

im at 12 creston st in worcester.

any help would be great. buckets would be good

 

[nitrofish]

im trying to transfer everything to my 125, but the plumbings not finished. its my only resort

I've got a 75 gal sys that you can borrow if you need (tank, stand, sump, skimmer, heater, 400w light.

have you ruled out a loose or broken bulkhead? Overflow clogged and the tank overrunning at the top?

 

[nitrofish]

the leak is around the bottom trim and leaking everywhere there are no leaks form above

 

[nitrofish]

their are no bulkheads.

 

[JohnK]

I'll bring you a half dozen bucketts, I can be there in 45 min.

Do you need anything else ASAP?

 

[nitrofish]

thanks, im going to need someone to take away my livestock if this dosent work.

 

[nitrofish]

if anyone stops by, im at the front door thru the gate

 

[Kevin McG]

I wish I was closer

Try and take a deep breathe and get yourself thinking straight. Get all the stuff transferred into the new tank and at the same time get that water from the 180 pumped into the 120. If you use a large pump you should ba able to do this pretty quickly.

emergencies are tough but you have to try and relax and get on track.

 

[~Flighty~]

I can take any livestock

 

[S Hunter]

Man...i hope this worked out ok.... sad

Wow, that's aweful! I wish I had something to offer. It's nice to see how many other's are willing to help. Let us know how it turns out. Sorry about your troubles.

I'd be worried about electrocution. Is everything unplugged? Have someone run to the closest Walmart or Home Depot and get some big bins to hold your livestock temporarily. Get your hands on a wet/dry vac for your floors.
