Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

[BuGG]

Sorry to hear about this. You had some really nice zoos in the tank. I hope your nephews hook you up with a frag or two for Christmas.

Damn Jaun I just saw this. sorry to hear about that. I always get nervous when someone is around the equipment. Good to hear its stable once again though. And good that the stand is on lock down. But do remember a determined child will find a way, so keep that guard up.

Thanks man, I got the branching montipora at the frag swap....it was one of the very few different colors other than green that I had.

I just did water test and the parameters are stable, I'm keeping Alk at 9.8 dkh and Cal 420 ppm so the tank is back to normal but lost almost all of my few SPS that I had.

Quick update.....I'm very happy and really appreciate al the frags I got at the Christmas party, once again thanks a lot to Mike and Nikki for hosting this party, thanks to Pete (man you really hooked me up with a lot of really nice sticks), thanks to Herbie, Rob, John, Daniel, Jun and Joe......
I just finished acclimating and gluing all the frags and must of them already have some polyps extensions. .....here is a pic of all the bags while acclimating and I'll post some more pics later on......thanks again everyone.

Glad to hear things have stabilized. Is that the hammer I gave you, I hope so, looks like it's doing well.

Thanks a lot and yes it is, it was 3 heads when you gave it to me now is 12 heards.

Tank is doing very good and all the frags seems to be happy.....I can even say that I'm noticing some growth already, I added some more pieces of rock so the rock scape looks better, here are some pics from my cell I just took.

Looking good. My advice would be check alk and cal, mag. Weekly water changes....religiously. No drastic changes, 2part dosing slowly. Any changes are slow. Enjoy!

love seeing that yellow tang Juan! I would say he is about 4-5 years old now.

Ok, everything is doing very well, tank is stable, corals keep growing but the day before yesterday I noticed what seems to be a LEAK ON THE TANK!!!!!!
There's salt on one of the tank corner, at first I thought I've spilled water from the tank and dried, wiped it off but yesterday same thing again and today too, there is salt on the same corner.
I bought the tank used about a year before I set it up.
Now any idea how bad this could get?......here is a pic.

I would replace the tank asap, small leaks are often followed by a seam failure which would empty the tank. 75 gallon can cause a lot of damage to your house. Sorry for the bad news! Where are you located. If close I would lend a hand

I agree get a new 75. Not worth potential disaster. My schedule is pretty crazy this week, otherwise I would help out.
