Hey everyone,
A while back I started to notice that my 93 Frameless Marineland cube was starting to get get some micro bubbles in the seams. I went ahead and searched and realized it was common occurrence on this tank, so I didn’t think much about about it. Fast forward to last week (about 6 months later) as I was doing a WC I noticed that the bubbles increased and were forming some weird shapes. I contact Marineland and sent them some pictures. Sure enough they sent me an email back stating that the tank was unsafe and that they would recommend that I discontinue use of it. Easy for them to say when you have planned and designed the build out like I did for over a year. They have offered me a check for a replacement tank and I am now taking this time to move away from the Frameless tank and upgrade to a Deep Blue 120G.
My plan is to order the tank this week and possibly make the swap in the next two weeks. I am wondering does anyone have a 30B or 40B laying around that I can use as a holding tank for the corals for a few weeks durning the switch? Luckily I have a spare remora Skimmer, powerheads and heaters to run in the tank. I wanted to see if anyone could help instead of me buying a tank (the cost of the 120 is not matching the refund lol). Anyone willing I would appreciate the help.
From an advise standpoint has anyone ever went through a tank change in the same location? The place that the current tank is, is where the next tank needs to go as my sump is under the stairs right behind the set up. I am looking for things to watch for, tricks, anything that will keep my 30 SPS frags and colonies alive during and after the switch.
