Well, For the last 5 hours I've been trying to save all my fish.. The worst possible thing just happened today. The bottom seal on my 175 BF started gushing water out. I had to act as quick as possible. cause I've got 250 lbs of LR in coolers with power heads. I don't know how tho save the 4 fuges I have. This is such a terrible mess. I had to put most of my fish in a 46 BF but my big triggers are in a 20L... This sucks My little girl and I just got the tank perfect. Look over on the tank contest thread. I have some pictures posted there. I just hate to see my fish die.

The tank is only 5 months old... I ordered another should be here thursday... I'll get with Oceanic on the old tank.
Here's some questions:
I've saved as much sand as possible. What does the water temp on the sand, LR, Sump need to be? Thanks.

This sucks soo bad I don't even know where to start. THe sad thing is watching my 8 year old girl cry as her tank is distroyed.
Soo far no casulties on the live stock. I'm getting ready to take My big triggers & puffers to the pet store and let them baby sit them. I put my big angel and purple tang in the 46. I have no choice in the matter. So far none of my fish have started fighting. I have 4 different types of clowns. The whole system was 250 gal. with the 4 fuges & sump. I think I lost all that. I have 1K invested in a power back up system. Never in a million years would I have guessed this.
The whole front bottom seal went. Does anyone have any dealings with Oceanic?? Are they pretty good on their warantees?? Any help?
