HELP!!! Tank cracked.

Jasontkd · 11-30-2006, 09:27 AM

Unfortunatley, while moving this last weekend, I broke my tank. I am really short on money due to the move, so I am getting rid of everything and will be starting over somewhere down the road. I am really affraid of losing all the corals before I can get them sold. everything is in my garage in a 50 gallon rubbermaid stock tank with heater, tunze and my MH over top. they should be ok, but the tem might get down to single digits tonight. THis SUCKS!!!!

Man sorry to hear that. No way of getting the rubbermaids inside so they stay warm?

if u cant get it inside just wrap the heck out of it with blankets. but make sufe to run an air pump so you do sufacate you corals.

Grab a few heaters at the LFS...they are very cheap and will keep the temp up!

Where did the tank crack? If it's the bottom you can do a quick fix for a temp solution.
