I hate waiting!!!

Are they reef ready ?
Also, if youre happy with the new 75, you can sell the leaker as a reptile tank and recoup some of the money for new tank

I don’t believe they are reef ready. Neither was my leaker so I was using a job overflow. I’m currently debating drilling the new one.

Drill it

With how cheap tanks that size are...... no way I’d ever fix one

Drill it

+1 on drilling

 

[Tice]

I’ve pretty much decided on drilling. Question, my drain is 1” and my return is 3/4”, I’ll get a 1 1/2” hole saw with the ghost overflow for the bulkhead. My question is should I also buy a 3/4” hole saw for the return side or drill a 1 1/2” hole and use reducers to get it to 3/4”?

 

[Pinback]

Use the 3/4" for the return hole. You'll be happier with the fit and form

Been awhile since I’ve updated. I got a new tank and finally have it set up and filled and running. Currently have 2 clowns and 2 hermits. Thinking of getting a flasher wrasse this weekend.

How disheartening that your aquarium was leaking! That has always been my biggest fear with secondhand purchases. I'm so sorry. : (

Of course— but luckily you’ll get a replacement from a manufacturer due to a warranty. Secondhand you get nothing AND less LOL

Thanks Emily. It sucked big time! But I got a new tank and am getting it stocked finally!

Best of friends, mocha clown, snowflake clown, and my new carpenters flasher wrasse. Also a cleaner shrimp and fighting conch. Loving it. Not sure what to get next.

Hello all. Here is my tank so far! I am currently (impatiently) waiting for my nitrites to come down. Also have my second light ordered.

Well you gotta put water in it first sorry couldn't resist! as everyone else will tell you you will grow some patience or you wont last in the hobby. It will happen slowly but surely.

I’ve been pretty patient. Started with the clowns a just before my leak issue. Put them in the new tank a few weeks ago with the sand and rock work I saved my cycle with in my qt. So after 3 weeks I added the wrasse, conch, and shrimp yesterday.
