On the back of the shut off there is a screw with a washer and it’s leaking out of that spot. It’s so tight everything is going to have to be cut. Quote Link to comment
patback Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Screw with a washer... post a picture if you can. If it's what I'm thinking you may be able to buy a gasket at the hardware store for a few cents. Pull out the core, place it in and screw it back together. I'm just not sure what you mean by screw in the back of it. 2 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hell fix it yourself............ And as asked is it copper or PEX ? 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm just not sure what you mean by screw in the back of it. It’s not the stem of the shut off valve leaking. It’s on the back side of the shut off. A Phillips head screw with a tiny black seal around it. You can’t remove the screw only turn it a little left and right. My husband isn’t super handy but he’s glued some pipes together before and had no idea there was a screw back there. 🤷🏻♀️ Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 🤔 Need ideas for another fish. After Gary the Fairy died, there is not much action in the tank. Gary was an attention whore and drew everyone to the front to watch his dolphin show. 🙄 Everyone in there is an asshole so it has to be a tough guy. Quote Link to comment

That’s some janky work if you ask me....what’s behind the the ring at the bottom of the pic? Does this feed a sink? 1 Quote Link to comment

When I kept mentioning the screw on the phone they were like “THERE IS NO SCREW!” Imagine their surprise when they saw the leaking screw. 😂 Kitchen sink. After the ring it goes through the cabinet and then floor. My guess is the rings cover the giant holes. 1 Quote Link to comment

They're difficult to get onto prepared, yes. As long as your tank is well-stocked on pods until they learn to eat prepared, they shouldn't be too difficult. I have my ornate leopard for months now. He didn't eat anything I threw into the tank for the first 1.5 months or so, but his belly was plump because I have an in-tank fuge and a lot of bristleworms for him to pick off. He only began favoring NLS pellets towards the tail-end of the second month. He still eats pellets, but he still favors pods. I think your tank should be large enough to host a leopard. I have mine in a 20G before I pulled him out for treatment in QT. 1 Quote Link to comment
