    maybe. We'll see. I just have to decide for myself for sure whether im gonna quit for sure, but I probabbly am, so gimme so time to just adjust i guess. and btw for eveyone following along, I'm 100% sure that you guys haven't lost 1 kenya tree, 1 acan, 1 rhodactis mushroom, 1 ocellaris clownfish, 1 royal gramma, one falco hawkfish, 1 firefish, about 5 chromis, colony of yellow polyps, goniopora (I'm such an @$$! who knew it was so hard to take care of? At least I had it like for a month lol, very pretty btw), mystery frag (frogspawn or hammer), 1 flame angel, 1 golden sleeper head goby, 10 hermits, 4 snails, and 1 neon velvet damsel (well he's alive but barely). So yeah, I've screwed up a lot. Need to get away for some time :p

    Very sorry to hear about your tank. After reading your recent post maybe this could be a good thing for you. It seems you have been freaking out a bit about high school. Relax, I'm sure you'll get into a nice groove with school soon. Maybe once that happens you'll have more time to setup a new tank.

    Not trying to harass you about getting out of your hobby, but you shouldn't give up. :) it's the glass on the bottom? I'd think that a crapload of duct tape would plug it, but it'd probably give away eventually. By the time I was your age, I'd lost a lot more than you. I'd lost 2 clowns, 2 sail fins, 2 hippos, 1 yellow tang, 1 flame angel, 3 blennies, 1 blue spotted Jawfish, 1 fairy wrasse, 2 snowflake eels, 1 leopard eel, 2 six line wrasses, and about a $600 dollars of coral. I'd bought it all myself, too. Ei allowance or gift money. I started with a 2 gallon tank, slowly worked up, and now ive got my main tank, plus about 25 10-20 gallon tanks set up in my garage. :) If shipping wasn't a problem, I'd send you a 30 gal right now to keep you in this hobby. :D

    Wow. that really means a lot; thanks. Well right now I'm putting up one hell of a fight..... well not really lol but I'm trying some silicone for the crack. I actually think there may be multiple cracks, but for now I'm just fighting yet ANOTHER crack in the tank on the side thats leaking. just used some silicone; only problem is that its old silicone, and there are more leaks cuz more water is coming out!!! :angry:

    Id take your fish out (into bags or bucket) and syphon the water out into a bucket. Fix the cracks, then put the water back in. :)

    imo, sell everything except your equipment, so when you come back you won't have to start over. Maybe next time start with a 55g tank.
