I don't reckon duct tape will hold it all in? I know I don't reckon it would LOL. I'm trying not to stress about it. The sooner I get the new tank the better! 9 minutes ago, jack1978 said: Good luck, G!! Thanks, D 2 Quote Link to comment

I was just in that thread earlier today, but didn't realize it's similar dimensions! I'm looking forward to having more room! I heard back from Innovative Marine. Holy wow...what a company. They said they were sending me out a replacement. I told her thank you so much, but I actually wasn't going to set another of these up, afraid to do it again. I told her I was going to buy the IM 25 Lagoon instead, but if they would exchange for that one, that would be fantastic. Not only are they going to do that, but I also get $100 credit because that's the difference in price from the drop-off . With my credit, I went with the new fancy ATO container since it will be exposed and not in a stand. I will have something nice to look at other than my rubbermaid container. It's something I would NEVER have spent the money on otherwise. A little splurge LOL. So that's that!!!! Hopefully it will be here soon. I have been watching the salt creep on the seam leak, and it is getting larger. No gushes yet . Wonderful news, sooo happy for you!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

jstuver Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Sad that you have to take this down but new tanks are always so fun! Cant wait to see what you do with it and I am so glad you decided to stay in. I got my cacdlights 60g cube set up yesterday finally and love it other than the wobbly stand, I need to figure something out or I will need to find a whole different stand as this thing scares me it moves so much! 3 Quote Link to comment

It really helps give peace of mind when buying their products to hear that they are treating you so well. What ATO container did you get? The new drawer thingy? 2 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Oh no, another leak! That stinks. You get settled and then something happens. Frustrating. I know I'm behind on reading. How did your remodeling go? I know I never saw the finished product. 2 Quote Link to comment

Oh believe me we usually build our stands and I swear you could park on them so this one has me worried. We found some brac things at Home depot and installed those and it helped so I will see if I still feel like it needs more! 1 Quote Link to comment

I will take some pics today for you . 7 hours ago, jstuver said: Oh believe me we usually build our stands and I swear you could park on them so this one has me worried.

My big 45 cube it wasn't necessary cuz it was a large block, no way it would tip over. But this new stand will be attached to the wall with brackets. Especially living in earthquake country, it really feels necessary to me. 4 Quote Link to comment

DaveFason Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Glad that they are helping you out Gena. I know they have had some issues with these drop offs ( I did too ) but glad they are still helping people out. I personally believe they should have stuck with glass. 1 Quote Link to comment

This has been my wife's favorite tank to view. Cheers to new beginnings ? Awwww....thanks . I will definitely take a final picture. The tank has a "bandaid" on it right now. I took a piece of gaffers tape and put it on the leak. Which hasn't gotten any worse, thankfully .

Of all things, I saw today on Instagram that they now have the Drop-off with Low-iron glass . They aren't for sale yet but they are doing a giveaway in case anyone wants to try for it. It's Innovative Marine on Instagram. I personally won't be going for it LOL. I love the tank, just a little afraid of it now! My 25 Lagoon tank shipped today and is expected to be delivered by the end of the day tomorrow. We were just outside spray painting the legs for my new stand. I'll probably set it up on Saturday. I picked up new sand (again) at my LFS. Feel like I'm doing that a lot lately. I also picked up a new blasto. It's red/pink with a purplish center. It's the big variety, wellsi???? I wouldn't have been able to get that if not for the switch. Blessings in disguise . 8 Quote Link to comment

DCUEVAS74 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Happy to hear that they are taking care of you! You are going to love the lagoon. My lagoon is currently cycling and I love the dimensions! Can't wait to see yours after the transfer. GL 1 Quote Link to comment
