michael.qian Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 sorry to hear that but if you cant find a tank, get a large bucket or something and put the heater in there, your fish will be fine for a little while but get a backup tank as soon as you can.

Ianab Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Get down to the Warehouse and get one of their big plastic storage bins. Transfer the water, heater, filter and fish from the tank. It will keep them safe until you can get the tank repaired or replaced. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Just make sure the heater isn't sitting on the plastic...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtv Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thanks guys, Luckily for us the awesome guys at reptilez in te awamutu had a spare 4 foot tank to lend us for the meantime. Now have this running with all fish transferred. tank has about 160l of water and is being filtered with an aqua one AT881. will this be enough filtering over the next week or so (with daily w/c) or should we find another internal filter to put in too?

Ianab Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Unless the extra filter is already cycled it wont do any good. Extra water changes will make up for a lot of faults though Dont feed too heavily and there will be less load on the filter. Good luck Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtv Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 yea filter is fully cycled and fish will only be fed once a day. good news is that the tank can be fixed and in the meantime all fish are happy in the spare 4 foot!
