Woke up this morning to water sopping my carpeted office floor. the 90 has sprung a leak. I have no idea where. It's not on the bottom because the stand is dry and it's also dry inside the cabinet.
just spent the last half hour draining tank and netting fish and getting a filter set up on a large tupper ware container. off to get a new 90 gal tank within a few hours.

just had to share my pain.

OMG that's awful. I can't even imagine.

I would have said to wait till it stopped leaking, would have told you where to look for the leak...

Gonna try to re-silicone or just buy new/used? You could probably pick up just a tank for like $200 (prices around me) if you need a fast turn around

OH NO FM! Good luck getting it switched over. Empty it and resiliconing is easy... I just did it on a 180. I wish the best for your fish and your FLOOR!

Ouch!! Sorry to hear about the leak. On the flip side it's an opportunity to make changes.

That really sucks. Leaks big or small are good at messing up your day. At least your fishes are ok and like mrramsey said, good reason to change things up. Wish you the best.

this was a used tank that had been patched on the bottom . so I am NOt trying to fix it. I'm getting a new tank. petco and petsmart both have sales on right now. i'll call around and see what the best deal is.
do i have to worry about my bb dying in my canister if it's off for several hours? or if I keep it wet will it be okay? I figure it's going to be close to 5 or 6 pm before I can get everything set up again and it's 9:30 am now.....
