So this is really a continuance of another thread but here goes

so i had a leak in my sump i thought, take it out and and clean it/reseal it well when i finally got it out this is what it looked like this

Notice The Crack

It was major set back and i didn't have the money all together so i lost a lot of stuff in the tank the list goes like this

Kole tang
yellow tang
cleaner goby
damsels (thank god)
fire shrimp
2 cleaner shrimps
clownfish
snails
hermits

All i had were two old skimmers to try and keep the tank going

After i flipped s^*t for a little i had to get a new tank stepped up to a 40 breeder. i then made it into a sump ad drilled it with a 3'' hole saw for a 2'' bulkhead (both from Gl*******s.com) which worked great as always.
I picked a reeflo dart as the power house for the tank which was a nice upgrade from my two mag 7's. I also upgraded my ref from a 10 gallon to a 20 gallon

i thought it was going to be easy which it was i had it all up and running and then i found a little leak o i went to tighten the bulkhead and i cracked the tank which put me back and step one again i repeated the whole process and it didn't crack and i now have my tank running again

needless to say i lost alot to poor planning and lack of money but it is just a small setback to never be forgotten
