Wok Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thank god that my daughter found that my 4ft tank was leaking water. just a small drip, so I thought it was just a seal.... ... emptied out the tank and moved the gravel, and found that there was a big crack at the bottom :evil: :an!gry Now I have to find someone to either replace it, or get a new 4ft tank or bigger !drool: or get the tank repaired, and while I am at it, get a new tank as well :roll: what to do? Now I have 7 big fish in a 3ft tank while I wait for the repair or new tank. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Get the tank repaired and while you are at it get another bigger tank as well. No problem! :happy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 A sheet of glass shouldn't be too expensive it may be cheaper and faster to replace the sheet yourself if you are game enough. I only say that as a new tank will be soo expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevolentsparkle Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 could a new sheet be stuck over the bottom? would be quick and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 My 120x40x40cm tank only cost $125.00 new from Greg, it's not too much to replace them and I'm guessing you already have all the gear? Perhaps even replace the bottom panel of the broken tank and use it later on 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I had considered just adding another sheet, but it will only leak through the side. Best option is to get someone to take off the bottom and replace it. I have already sent an email to greg for pricing. of repair and a new tank.

Joshlikesfish Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 You have a nice one to sell Josh? I've never owned a tank bigger then a 5ftr. But I know gregs 8ft tanks are quite cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 8ft is very tempting, but just after Christmas is a stretch. maybe later in the year. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lucky it was only a small leak! I think you should definitely replace it with a six foot :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lucky it was only a small leak! I think you should definitely replace it with a six foot :lol: $380 for a 6ft is money I don't have at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
