Hello, I’m here to share my story about my tank. I’m a 20-year-old who recently lost my 130-gallon tank, which belonged to my parents. What happened was that I was going to feed my fish when the glass panels split and started dumping water. Thankfully, I was able to remove the water as quickly as possible and save all my fish by transferring them to my backup tanks.
I had been rebuilding this tank for about two to three years. I completely took it apart and resealed all the glass panels to prevent what happened today.
Growing up, I always loved the ocean. This tank has been in the family since before I was born, and I had always dreamed of creating my own piece of the ocean here in Ontario. My late uncle, my dad, and I started planning and rebuilding it together, and I worked on it day and night to ensure that it was perfect.
Sadly, my uncle passed away before he got to see the tank filled with water. Before he died, he left me his tank to sell to help fund my project. When my tank broke, it felt utterly heartbreaking.
When the tank broke, I had to hold the glass together long enough to drain the water and ensure the fish were safe in my backup tanks.
Now, I’m feeling lost about how to restart and where I should go from here. It’s incredibly disheartening. If anyone has advice on how I should begin again and what steps to take next, I would greatly appreciate it. Should I even consider restarting? I've invested all my money into this, and I'm unsure where to start.
I have completely emptied the tank of gravel, rocks, and everything else.
Right now, I don’t know if I need support or if someone should just tell me to quit or where to go next.
