As posted in this link https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=261033 I finally get the tank today. 11:00am and we all make the 40 min drive to Miami Beach to start the process. It was amazing to see the Pros in action total time to drain, remove approx. 220lbs live rock, assorted corals and fish 2hrs. We made the drive to my place and placed the tank on the cart to clean the tank like new.

When all of a sudden the bottom corner touches the ground and I hear a craaaaak
:mad:
. The tank is on the way to the shop for the glass guy to fix.
. I guess I waited this long another day or two won't make that mush of a difference.

Yeah, kinda sucks to keep waiting. And all of the fish and corals are sitting at the LFS. But better safe than sorry.
By the way great pic's of the seahorsies.

They brought the tank to the "Glass Guy" who said that the corner crack is superficial(sp) and should not pose any problems. They are bringing back the tank this morning and we are going to fill it with water outside and let it sit for 2-3 days to make sure that the crack doesn't spread.

As part of the purchase I kept the Lunare Wrasse, Red Breasted Wrasse (both about 7"), Huge Lion 8#+, small 2-3" Huma Huma Trigger(cute little guy), 250lbs live rock a bunch of corals and mushrooms (still trying to decide if I want to keep them in this tank or put them in my 93gal reef and make this a FOWLR). I am as I type tryng to catch a Sailfis (red sea) Tang and a Blue Hippo from the other tank to put in this monster (they have outgrown the reef).

Ya, pretty scary to stand on the step ladder/tank stand like that. man he got lucky. Glad all is getting fixed properly though. Keep us updated.
How long will the silcone have to cure before you can fill it (after the repairs?)
