My 120g sprung a fast leak on the weekend so I had to evacuate it and drain it immediately. I got really lucky in a couple ways...
1. Location: the 20g of water it lost before I found it went right under the wall into the furnace room drain so no damage to the house.
2. I had a cycled 10g and an empty 30g (both I was planning to stock with finds from the Mtl auction) ready to go.
I ordered a new 120 but it will only be here in 2+ weeks.
So now I have a few issues... The 120 was already way overstocked, and now all my fish and plants are in buckets, totes and these smaller tanks but keeping the water filtered, heated, and aggression in check is proving a challenge. Ideally I would like to consolidate things in the buckets into a larger tank to simplify the maintenance and give the fish space before they murder each other.
Does anyone have a spare 75 or 90 (that doesn't leak!!!) that I can borrow for a couple weeks? Alot of my fish are jumpers so would also need a lid if its a 75 (I have spare lids for a 90).
Also, anyone got piles of floating plants (duckweed, frogbit, salvina, wisteria, etc.) I can have to help keep nitrates in check?
I can pickup any evening this week.
Thanks in advance!
That is very unfortunate Mike and something we all fear, sorry to hear of your experience.
I wish i had something that would help , hopefully one of the good people here will step up.

Yes, it is an awful situation, but I'm a glass half full kind of guy...
Now I get to rescape a 120g and correct all the mistakes I made the first go around!!!
nice way to look at it :)
Yikes! Seeing I rent leaking tanks are always my worst nightmare. Good luck!
I have a 65 gallon or a 135 gallon I could lend you.
Awesome! PM sent.
I'm still looking for a loaner tank if anyone has. Ideally before the weekend. 55+ gallons will solve the majority of my issues.
Thanks!
Is the free tank still available in the classifieds?
