Fruju Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 So about a year and a bit ago I got my 6ft tank put in my room; it's not a solid floor but we thought the weight was evenly spread across the joists. Turns out there was water damage on the plyboard/chipboard floor base, this started becoming apparent when the tank started sinking into the floor :digH: So had to relocate all my fish to henwards place (SHOUT OUT TO HENWARD), then hired some guys this morning to move the tank while I was at uni. WELL WORTH IT. Tank is safely moved and on a SOLID FLOOR. With over a tonne of weight when filled up it is critical that it is put on a stable base. Also, the benefit of a lino/tile floor is unmatched. Hopefully the transition of all the fish back in will go smoothly, fingers crossed! We learn through mistakes after all.

Caryl Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Lucky it was noticed before the tank went through the floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Close call alright, I think I expressed concern about the placement/stand design when you set it up, glad you caught it early enough! Take note those with the "no problems so far" attitude.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well, turns out there is a massive freakin crack in the bottom of the tank! Now I need to replace the stupid thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Gutted! Good timing tho; http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=57754 :lol: Just let me know if Henward can't hold the fish, I've got a couple of empty tanks at the moment. Any chance the tank could be repaired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
