    Well over the night my tank took a crap and a seal broke, about 6gallons of water all over the hardwood floor. Thank god it was not all 29g but i have to go get a new biocube today(under warranty thank god). some of my par. were off so im thinking i should just leave the coral out and recycle the tank, is this a good idea?:confused: please help fast.

    I would try and save as much as you can before and just move everything from one tank to the other to try and minimize any mini cycles you'll get during the transfer.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You can move everything over and do a " soft cycle" on the new tank. Just make sure you have plenty of sw mixed and test parameters frequently for the first week to make sure you are not going to have a huge cycle.

    Sorry for your troubles StoneyH20. Hope you get it all back up and running without any more problems. Atleast it happens today instead of tomorrow.
