Tank repair update.

Woke up to water pouring from new leak in my repaired tank! I think moving it outside must have weakened an already weak spot.

Had to get a new one today. Very nice 100 ltr job. Cost me £150.00!!! Mind you, it came with filter, heater,hood, lights etc, so my others can go on ebay!
The leaky tank went to the guy next door, who keeps spiders!

Will post pics of new set-up, when things are up and running.

If you can use your filters from the leaker to help cycle the new tank....

Yeah, Weeser-did that. As I've said before, the water in the UK does not seem to need as much prep. as in Usa. Much of it, where I live, comes from the Scottish borders mountain region(well, hills really!), and is very pure. Also, as the leak was about 1/2 way up the tank, I managed to save about 60/70 ltrs so it did not involve too much "new" water being added.
Can't wait to get going again! My fish are looking a bit crowded in my small tank, so they'll want to get home!
Thanks for all your comments!
