FREE: everything must go, quick

[Geraud]

I just woke up to water splashing on the ground: my tank sprung a leak. I am in damage control mode.

Coral colonies are in the sump as best as I can, but trying to empty the tank and catch the fish to avoid water damages.

It is a bring your own water deal though. Come with a bucket and I'll give you a big colony before they die.

In Manhattan, close to Gramercy Park

Do you need a tank ?

 

[Geraud]

kidninja Helped me out with the corals. He will post separately if he needs to make some room and frags etc. *a thousand thanks to him*

Thanks a lot everyone who reached out. Not a fun situation to be in, but **** happens, just have to keep a cool head and take it with a smile.

corals are all being distributed to their new homes! and of course have some saved for geraud for the rebuild

 

[shinylights]

Here is what's available:

neon green candy canes colonies/frags, red digitata frags, green pocillopora colonies/frags, green slimmer frags and random monti frags

i can pick some up if still available, i just setup my 120g and it needs some color, and @Geraud if you need a new tank you can take my old 55g if you got the space

thanks for the frags i hope geraud makes another tank his was actually pretty cool and greatly impressive for the small space it took up.

Now that the sediments have settled, I would like to thank @kidninja for:
- coming so quickly
- making back and forth trips under the rain
- storing the colonies in his tanks and reaching out online to place them
- spending the day fragging and distributing frags

This enabled me to save all the fish minus one (a Pseudochromis paccagnellae, so not really something rare), and focus on cleaning up the tank to make sure the mess would be properly contained.

I must say I am really lucky to have been home when it happened, and to have had such a great guy a couple of blocks away. The first time this happened to me (6-7 years ago), I had placed the corals in plastic bins, then ran to get a new tank, set it up, put them back, and lost a lot of them.

I hope that the corals survive in their new homes, and make people as happy as I was to raise them for close to 13 years.

Lesson learned: if you see the silicon weakening on your tank, do not wait too long to get a new one. (a bitter lesson considering that's the second time it happens)

Sorry that thus happened to you. I just had a small leak this morning. Thought the ato resevoir sprung a leak. But it turned out to be the aqualifter pump was leaking behind the tank.
