Day 133 and all is well?

2130: The tank was brought back online with the sump. The GPS closed up immediately. Will keep an eye on that. I will tweek the skimmer and watch for the leak again in the morning.

In any case, a new 75 or 90g is in the works. If I can find a 90g, I will go with that.

Day 131 and there is a leak

Posted 09-14-2008 at 08:56 PM by PharmrJohn (My 75 Gallon Tank)

All is well with the inhabitants with the exception of the flower pot. It is not blooming. Not enough light. Bummer. It is going back next weekend.

I have a leak in the upper front corner again. I have the return pump turned off but the rest of the PHs going. I will mess with it later tonight or tomorrow morning before work. I will let it cure 24 hours and call it good. It is looking like I may need to replace the tank. I am going to do 75g again as I want to save my money...

Day 123 And All Is Well

*Upon first glance the tank is OK. Small filter sock was replaced yesterday. No water change scheduled for this weekend. I did a 30% WC two weeks ago and ended up doing a 30% WC last week with the leak thang. The plan is 7% (5g) WC every Sunday and 30% WC the first Sunday of the month.

*I am going to cut a piece of acrylic soon. I am just going to wedge it in. I will put a clear aquarium underwater glue on it later. Meanwhile, I will stock it immediately and adjust the flow accordingly....
