countryboy12484 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well i came home from work today and when i went to check on all of my shrimp i noticed that the 10 gallon tank that housed about 250 carbon rilli's was leaking!!! Into the tank below which is where my tb/mishling are housed!!!! Fortunately i had a cycled 20gal that i had planned on putting oebt in... So i have spent the last 2 hours catching all of my carbons and putting them into the 20... I hope i dont loose either colony... Wish me luck! And pray for my shrimp! ctaylor3737 and EricM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slycat929 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Agreed. I am gone 2-3 days per week for work and I always worry that I come home to one of those disasters. Hope all ends well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch3fb0yrdee Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yikes. Any ideas what happened? I'm hearing about leaking tanks and it freaks me out. Hardwood floors and leaking tanks don't mix well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamashack Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ouch! Best of luck, countryboy! Lucky you had the spare tank to fall back on. Hope both colonies will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
