Omg!!

I wake up this morning and i walk over to my tank and see my tank water is almost freaking gone.idont know what happened.no leaks and my tank dest evaporate in one day.its crazy.i dont know to put faucet water because my lfs is closed so i cant get water.wat do i do?

 

Under the present circumstances, it is best to just use tap water to make new saltwater. Their has to be an underlying reason for the water to be gone however. Evaporation I don't think is the answer as to why the water is gone.
How big is the tank and how much of the water is actually gone?
What do you have in the tank right now as far as livestock?
Do the livestock have enough water in the tank to swim and not be stressed out right now?
Meanwhile, I would quickly make up some new saltwater for the livestock.
You really have to be sure as to the culprit regarding the loss of water!
Good luck...hopefully everything will work out and you won't lose anything. Be careful for your safety as well!

 

all there is a pair of clowns a diamond goby and a coral banded shrimp with a cleaner crew.i found the culprit.it was a piece of long plasitc that someone stuck on the top of my tank and they left it there and it moved to where the skimmer water comes out and leaked it out there.ahhhhhhhhh.

 

Oh man, that sucks. Might have to mandate your cleaner crew to put in some overtime....

 

Make sure to use a water water conditioner like, Amquel or NovaAqua if you are going to use tap water.


Always a good idea to keep a bottle on hand in event of such an emergency...

yes sir did that already to.i didnt fill it up all the way so when i do a water change its not only tap water.

 

oh dear, was your carpet all wet and soggy??

 

Sounds like sabotage to me................I would be soooo looking at my kids right now,lol I feel your pain Nemo, been there, done that and got the T-shirt. That happened to me a long time ago but with something that you would never guess. I left a paper towel on the rim of the 20g tank after cleaning it. The towel must have, some how, fallen in but not all the way and started to absorb/syphon the water as far as the towel reached. What a mess!!!!

 

I got the bright idea once to put a sponge in my overflow pipe to filter out fish crap and other things that were building up in my very generic sump. Luckily my wife was complaining about the new fish I got, when I noticed the water was about ready to overflow out of my tank onto the bedroom floor... this is one time i'm was glad she was complaining.....

 

Thanks all I just realized what was draining my mantis tank I lost my mantis because i turned off the pump to the tank cause water was leaking from it I thought. But it is a piece of tubing i stuck down the over flow. my mantis died cause i didnt realize I had no heater in the tank.
