This is why folks leave the hobby. 9 months in, had the uglies, cyano, GHA, etc. Things were finally settling down, in fact all the water parameters were "perfect" when I tested yesterday. Corals are growing, fish are thriving.
This morning, I find water running across the floor, apparently from a leak at the bottom of the tank in the rear. ATO suggests about 2.5 gallons hit the ground, and I've spent all morning creating 10 gallon and 5 gallon emergency tanks to stack all the rock with corals and move all the fish. The leak is (for me) unrepairable, and the tank itself is only 6 months old. If the manufacturer (JBJ) doesn't stand behind it, I'm probably out. Too much time and money down the drain to set fire to any more cash. What a depressing way to start the day. Only saving grace is that it's a holiday and I was home to catch it.
