Hello everyone I have been in the Hobby for awhile and am fairly active on Manhattan Reefs as well as other well known Reef Websites. but never did a build thread so bare with me if I am painful and slow. Up to about 3 months ago I had a modified 250DD. The previous owner had cut off the overflows on the sides and glued and silicones a piece of glass to each of the bottom corners. He also built a ghost style overflow with the returns being external and were then connected to 2x 3/4? sea swirls. The tank was very clean and just had some minor scratches on the bottom where the sand bed was. I had the tank for approximately a year or so before disaster hit. Well almost disaster if it wasn?t for my wife. So on January 21 at about 7pm, my tank decided to spring a small leak on the right bottom corner. Thank god for my wife being so attentive to everything that goes on in the house, she saw the water slowing dripping down the side of the stand it started fairly slowly but dripping seamed to be getting stronger and more steady as the minutes passed. We quickly got some towels and an old piece of clothing that I usually used to wipe the glass and proceed to tape it up with some heavy duty black duct tape that I have.
Above are some before pics. I will be adding to the story little by little as I have time. Can?t do it all at once and bore you to death.
Thanks.
