[younngballa88]

I cleaned and did a massive water change today and something happend and i am leaking water out of the bottom out of the seam somewhere. Its a 45 gallon with live rock,sand,fish and corals. Please help me what do i do??? I have a 75 gallon lieing around but no stand and also have a filty 45 lieing around. I know i have to move everything but how???? I have to make a ---- load of water if i use the 75. Temp will take forever to come up... Please any ideas or help?????????

set the 75 close to the tank but not to close that you can't clean up the mess. Put a pump in the tank that is leaking and pump it into the 75. Move the belongings into the 75 dry up the wet mess. Just try to stay come and not worry. Although this is poor advise sense I would be freaking out what to do.

If you have 5 gallon buckets just fill those and put everything in them, if you don't, buy them.
If making water is too much of a hassle save as much as you can.
Clean the other 45 and just replace it, or fix the leak if you can.
Put HOBs and heaters on the buckets with fish and corals powerhead with the rocks. And everything will be fine.

Well 24 hours later. I have successfully transferred everything from my leaking 45 gallon tank to my 75 gallon tank. Here are the pictures and I personally think the aquascaping looks great? Some more live rock but you get the idea. And i guess since i just added 30 more gallons it looks like I'm off to get some more live stock as well. Also i am going to be adding a skimmer tomorrow.

. Plans for a fuge are also in the making.... I will start a new thread for that build..... All went pretty well with the move EXCEPT.... My wife was helping me move the rocks and the got hurt somehow and dropped a rock right on my anemone

.... Oh boy did i scream lol sorry honey i love you...... Anyway it looks like it will pull through. It has opened back up.... Oh also forgot to mention i decided to go bare bottom.

glad it went good.

YEAH! I think you will be happier with the 75g anyway. I can tell, because the first thing you plan is off to the store for more livestock.

If you get more fish- QT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The one time I didn't three months ago, was a nightmare. So, just in case I didn't say it loud enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! QT EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In reference to new livestock, of course.
