Thanks for your advice! I went to Home Depot and bought a brute trash can. I am now ghost feeding while I cycle.You can keep the rock in a brute but make sure you ghost feed it to keep the good bacteria alive.

Why is that the issue, I didn't take time to watch the video, is it wrong technique or makes it look too easy?sigh this is the issuse, this is why so many people "reseal" their tanks and them the time bomb blows up.
When you say you “resealed” the tank what did you do? I feel like this is a misused term quite often. To reseal a tank you must remove all silicone, tank the tank completely apart sand/clean the edges the re silicone/put the tank back together. Unfortunately only adding new silicone to the seams does almost nothing at all to keep the tank together :-/. People are told time and time again to “reseal” the tank just by removing the old and just adding new in the corners, that just a ticking time bomb. People are also told to use “GE silicon 1” but again this is not the answer, while it completely reef safe once it cures it’s not meant to hold a tank together. It’s great to holding in sump baffles and things like that but definitely not to hold that much pressure.Why is that the issue, I didn't take time to watch the video, is it wrong technique or makes it look too easy?
@scottedontknow His tank and set up got a makeover. It wasn't re-siliconed or resealed or anything like that.

lol read that other postes.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss bu glad insurance covered it!I’m sorry to read this. Water and wood don’t mix. A plumber made a mistake with water heater, water on 6 month old bamboo floor. He and we were present to sop it up, probably 5 gal worth. Short version, 18 k in damage, insurance covered. We now have a Hickory wood floor throughout.
That’s an amazing partner! You are a lucky guy!I once had a leak while I was out of town and my bride wrapped the tank with cargo straps, using towels on the corners and under the hooks and ratchet. She cinched it down and the leak stopped. We had it with 2 straps around it for 6 months while we had a new custom tank built.
So any updates
