the perfect excuse!


hello everyone! well the 55g sprung a leak over night (woke up to about 10 gallons on the brand new carpet). so i went out and bought a new 75g tank and stand. anyway im getting a crash course on bulkhead fittings, valves etc.... im on my 10th hour of working to get everyone back in the tank and happy again. im covered in muck and my hands are like chalk from the salt and stuff but im getting there! i tried to talk the wife into the 125 but that didnt go over too well . ill keep y'all posted. hope everyone is doing ok.

Oh my...we feel your pain (and your joy at the acquisition of a larger tank)...so far, the saltwater hasn't ruined or changed our carpet ...

Congrats on the upgrade, condolences on the inconvenience of a grand mess!
