Ianab Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Walked into the bedroom this afternoon, whats that noise? Why are my feet wet?... Oh Oh. 120l hex tank had split a seam and sprayed 1/2 it's contents over the room, the bed, the laundry basket. The heater and filters were all out of the water, that was the noise. Luckily the room has wooden floors, so cleanup wasn't so bad. Anyway, no fish losses, got them all moved to other tanks, which are now even more overcrowded :-? Now I REALLY need to get the new tanks set up :roll: Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchKiwiCowboy2 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I was finding a small puddle on the floor 3 days in a row, about the size of a dinner plate. After tracking it back turns out out it was only condensation seeping under the cover plate. It was a great excuse to set up the 3 foot tank I had sitting outside though.
