Pull through? Well, there was a time - I think it was about 3:30am when I was still mopping up - that I wondered if it was worth restarting.
Then again, maybe the loss of the 4'x2' could pave the way for something a touch longer... or at least more front to back depth... My wife, who hasn't really got into reef keeping, really likes blue tangs. Maybe I can convince her based on that...
And it's a good opportunity to set things up a little different.
The tank was 2' deep, and appears to have been made from a cheap form of float glass, wouldn't be more than 6mm, may be thinner. Maybe someone scratched it, creating a weak point, but it looks like a stress failure to me.
Hey @Magic, thanks for the offer - it's great to know there's someone just down the road who's willing to help out. Looks like I'll be ok this time though. The plastic bin with the live rock holds about 80l when full. Tonight it still shows no ammonia at all, so I'm thinking I'll transfer the rest of the livestock into there until the new one is set up. Or should I hold off a bit longer to make sure? Some of the rock would have been half out of the water for around an hour.
Made some interesting discoveries too. The day before, I caught sight of half a bristleworm tht I thought must have been pretty big. Discovered a few big ones when I lifted the rock out.
And some of the rocks had what looked like roots growing down into the sand. Didn't really have time to examine closely, as the water had run across the floorboards and was hitting the carpet in the lounge room. Anyone seen anything like that and know what they would be?
