That sucks!! My 90 just has eggcrate in it right now I could possibly house some stuff if you want to keep your corals. Not sure how much will fit with my corals but we should be able to make something happen. I'll pm my number!

Hopeful Reefer · #4 12/08/2007, 01:27 PM

That definitely sucks...I am sure we will all offer some space for you if you need it...hope you can stay in this and not have to get out...

I know it is not a comfort, but at least you can rest easy knowing that if you do have to just get rid of stuff it will all go to caring loving homes locally...I know I would be happy to care for anything...

Good luck...hopefully your floors aren't that bad...

Same here, but if you decide to sell I would love to consider giving a new home to some of the clean up crew...blasto...and some zoas...

Would prefer to keep ya in the game though so I will help with what little space I got...

I would offer to help store some of your stuff but mine is all in my sump right now too. If you decide to sell I would take your ricordia from you and any zoas that you want to seel as well.

someone should come and get this chaeto, its originally from pearson/phurst so needless to say its crawling with ctitters plus my fuge is going crazy with pods

aqua11878 · #12 12/08/2007, 08:12 PM

i can keep anything non-photo in my sump!

virginiadiver69 · #13 12/08/2007, 11:35 PM

I could really use some of the cheato. Let me know when and where I can pick it up.

commabc · #14 12/09/2007, 01:01 AM

anyone want a h&s calcium reactor 110cr-f1000 brand new still in the box with media and a 5lb c02 tank? $350 http://finsreef.com/home.php?cat=250

Coleman4i · #15 12/09/2007, 02:08 AM

This is tragic

I may be interested in some of your zoas but to be quite honest I'd rather babysit them and get a small frag then you have to start all over again.

Hopeful Reefer · #16 12/09/2007, 07:38 AM

It is tragic that this has happened and you have to break everything down...

Looking at the quote in your signature, maybe you can get a bigger tank now or even use the one you have, but put it in wall...get a bunch of us locals to help...

Shame to see ya get out of it...

commabc · #17 12/09/2007, 07:59 AM

i'm not getting out i'm going to do and in wall but its gonna take some time.

commabc · #18 12/09/2007, 08:41 AM

the floors aren't too bad some water got underneath the hardwood and there raised alittle but nothing to bad. i'm glad i broke it down, there was ALOT more water then i thought. i think it was between 30 and 35 pounds that spilt over. the stand is done.

Hopeful Reefer · #19 12/09/2007, 10:56 AM

At least the damage is more to your equipment (stand) and not as bad to your floors...hardwood floors can be expensive to repair/replace...especially if they are natural wood and not stuff like Pergo Laminate...

Heck, maybe you could host your own all weekend long frag meet whenever you are ready to do the in-wall setup...Come one, come all - trade some frags but make sure you bring your tools!!

Are you going to be using your 65g tank that you already have or are you going to get a bigger tank and use that one as your sump?

In all seriousness though, you got lucky with your floor...hope there is no hidden damage for your sake...good luck!

commabc · #20 12/09/2007, 12:37 PM

im a little worried about the floor, i think a good amount of water leaked underneath the hardwood, b/c some of it is raised and some of the pieces look like the gap has widened a little.

i want to get a 120 or similar, something with some depth to it. as far as the 65 for the sump, i not sure because its drilled 7 times and two of those are on the bottom. it can be done and it would be a nice sump, but if anyone is interested i would rather sell it or trade it, because its a heck of a 65 gallon tank. its capable of some rediculous flow. it would be a awesome bare bottom sps tank.

commabc · #21 12/09/2007, 02:20 PM

all shrimp, blasto, and small dragon eye frag are sold

commabc · #22 12/09/2007, 10:08 PM

hammer, both torches, ricordia, xenia, zoanthid branch, and 40 pounds of rock are gone.

Amp2020 · #23 12/11/2007, 10:49 PM

If your hardwood floor is damaged then you have no other choice than to buy a bigger tank to cover up the bad spot. Good luck with this theory, it doesn't work on my wife but you might have better luck.

Hopeful Reefer · #24 12/12/2007, 08:59 AM

He started another thread...got lucky enough to convince the wife he needed a bigger, and in-wall, tank because of this incident...

So this time he can ruin the hardwoods AND the drywall

Just kidding man, excited to watch the build.
