My planted tank started to leak last week :(, I was fixing it from last friday. Had to rip every thing out. All my tetras and peco's are in a bucket, some of the neons died too :(
I have fixed the leak (i think) filled it for testing, maybe tonight I will know if its fixed or not (fingers crossed).

I have bought some Java Moss from ebay, and got a little flame moss as well which is growing pretty well till this **** happened :cry:

If any one could tell me if there's any good foreground plants like riccia. I can't find those on ebay. I am from Sri Lanka so any online stores nearby would be great. :1zhelp:
There are no good lfs here in SL. Most of them dont even know what are planted tanks. They just sell fish thats it!

Wish me luck guys, hope my tank will be fixed soon
 
sorry to hear. leaky tanks always suck.
 
What size tank is it? If it is 55g or less I would just recommend buying a new one at petco while they have the 1$/gallon sale going on. Before you start redoing the leaking one.
do they even have petcos in Sri Lanka? If so that will be the best bet
hope you get it fixed

Leaky tanks sure can be a drip!
 
nope there is no petco in SL and its about 30g tank (18x18x24), I took my tank to another lfs. He said the glue which was used earlier are not good. He ripped them off with his fingers -.-
Said he will dismantle it and put it together by 2morrow.
btw any one know any asian (who ship from asian) websites which sells riccia?
