So I'm done work. Come home and am ready to relax for the rest of the night. Go downstairs to check my tanks. Start cleaning the glass with the magnet when I notice some water dripping from the stand. At first I thought I splashed over the top so I clean it up,but it contiues to drip. A half a hour later its still dripping so I relize the tank is leaking somewhere. Just replaced the carpet with hardwood, good thig it must have just started to leak. To make a long story short 6 hours later everthing is now in a new 90 gal tank. Rock has to be positioned properly because I just threw it all back in. Only good thing about it is I now have a bigger tank. A big thankyou to Ron for going and grabbing the tank for me and helping me switch stuff over.

I'm glad you saved yourself from a catastrophe! Congrats on the new tank. Hope you weren't lifting weights in front of your video camera when this happened.(Check out this vid... POST)

Glad to hear you got the tank fixed. Cant wait to see the tank set up and not in a bunch of buckets. Couldnt belive how nice your other tank was and how cool the sea horses are.

Got most of the rock positioned. Looks way different . Will take awhile to get use to the new set up, as I just got use to it from the change a couple of months ago. That extra few inches in hieght sure makes a difference for viewing.

Gary do you position your rock against the back side of your tank? You know still leaving room for fish to swim through an all of that...

Yes I start with the rock away from the wall on the bottom and then lean it up against it as I go up. I also have a power head on one side at the back blowing threw the space between rocks and glass. I found if I don't go against the glass I lose to much space.
