So I wake up to water on the floor this morning and find that my 90 gallon reef started leaking. A steady 1 drop a second leak from the overflow bulkhead on the bottom of the tank. Tank has been up for about 10 years. The wood stand has water damage around the area where the hole for the over flow is drilled. No way to fix the leak without break it all down and with the stand as damaged as it is, I’m seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on a Red Sea Reefer 450. I have the leak rigged so it drips back into the sump for now.
Now my question is how quickly can I after I have this new tank up and running can I transfer everything over. I would like new base rock and new sand but I will seed with one piece of rock my the old tank. I don’t want to use my old rock because most of the larger pieces are covered in red mushrooms I don’t want in the new display. I’ll be transferring 5 small to medium fish, a large clam and two BTAs. any other suggestions are welcome to make this as smooth a transition as possible
