Its been a while since I posted; I was much more involved when the forum was on reefcentral.com. Sometimes that happens as house construction, dogs and kids get in the way of things. I still have my salt water fish tank, one that I have had for many years now, a 90 gallon wave front.
This morning on the way to work I noticed that there was water pooling on the floor... I knew it was bad and sure enough it was leaking from the tank....
I let work know I would not be coming in and started caulking the tank as a temporary fix. My wife went and purchased a 100 gallon tub at the local feed supply store and when she got back I started getting my corals out. several of the corals broke, which is no big deal, but I have plenty of frags to give away, feel free to donate something if you want, no obligation. The frags are mainly montipora capricornus, orange, green/brown and purple with blue polyps. I also have some zooanthids and some frogspawn (green).
I left one large piece of agrocrete rock in the tank since I have not moved my fish out yet (I have a 15 year old clownfish) and since the leaking stopped as I drained most of the water out of the tank. I want to sell this rock for something reasonable. it took me some time to make it and I cured it for 30 days, etc. it has 3 pillars with a mesa on top - the fish can hang out underneath with shrimp, etc. 20$ takes it. In the photos it is the rock on the left, my yellow tang is under it.
I live in boulder 80303 and you can contact me through email: seabass.mtb@gmail.com
I would like to have to all the rocks and such moved tonight since I need to start tearing down the fish tank - it was built as a room divider.... which makes this a bigger bummer....
let me know if you are interested. bring your own bags / rubber maids / buckets if you come, I don't have any.
Thank you!
Miguel
