sump cracked last night physical help needed

[willray]

I really hate ask!But I'm recovering from back surgery and can't do much.My family has done what they can for the night but if someone has time today I could use some help.I don't have much to offer 'cause I've been out of work for while but I would be glad to give up some corals and or some equipment.I've got the main tank heated and water circulating but no filtration in it.
What I need to do is get the cracked sump out from under my stand and put a temp in it's place.It is a sump fuge combo. sump side is for the most part empty.But I/we need to empty the fuge side b4 it can be removed.pic follows ph #978 597 2514 thnaks Bill

I may have some time Friday afternoon if that helps at all. I have an acrylic sump (30L by the look of it) I can loan you for a while. Was going to use it but haven't put it in place yet. Just let me know. PM Sent.

Cheers

If that's Townsend, MA where you're located, I'm right up the street in Mason, NH. I drive through Townsend everyday. If you need anything, in general or in a pinch, let me know.

Sweet thanks folks I'll keep you posted.
Someone has taken all the sand and algea which allowed me to slowly take all that I can out of the way.My son has scholl till late and then a basketball game so I'm sure what's next other than wait for help.Only need help for 1/2 hr or so.I won a used Freedon filter(this thing is built like a tank) at the auction thru that in the tank no plumbing reg.something's not right on it as it's not skimming much but it is adding plenty of air and circulation.
I have an old tank in the basement that used for my mixed water 12x24x16.6.I'm hoping to get that in there for now and get my skimmer back on line.no baffles or anything but at least it migth suffice for a week or two or three.I've slowly taken all that i can out all that I can do now is wait for someone to swap tanks for me.

Bunch of us tested the Freedom filters and did not have much luck with them either. Don't see how they are supposed to generate the foam.

 

[willray]

Man does my tank stiink!Goni's are loving it.But things are alive and a replacement baffleless tank is in place for now(thanks to my babygirl Jamie she's 22 and quite handy). my skimmer is in overdrive.
The freedom filter doesn't have any adjustment for the skimmer but I should be useing a mag 7 on it and I only had a mag 5 handy.I sure the xtra preasure would draw more air.

 

[grendel]

Are you all set now? Do you have a new sump?

 

[willray]

Are you all set now? Do you have a new sump?

Yes!All set for now.I Will get another tank and pull the baffles out of the old one in the coming weeks. thanks grendal.

I was also one of those that tested. Didn't do squat. BUT, it would do an okay job in the short term of keeping the oxygen levels in your tank up.
