My first 4x2x2.5 marine tank

[fishtalk1517]

Yes... But mine only 1 bubble so may be hard to get it changed.... Yes... Its an eye sore and I am quite worried about the integrity of the glass. Don't want to wake up half way and have my living flooded.

So its confirm a bubble? meaning trap in between the glassesand not the chip markings? I remembered that the tank maker did said this, there are only unsightful but won't crack How big is the bebble? Mine is like 0.1mm

[piero]

0.1 cm or mm? 0.1 mm hard to measure leh... Mine should be 1 to 1.5mm... Its traped in the middle of the glass... U can somehow feel it on one side of the glass but not the other side. Now a bit sian. Dunno should fill up with water or not.

[fishtalk1517]

sori. its 1 mm. Did u try to consult with ur tank maker? My experience is that when u fill up with water and under lighting, it'll become more visible. Check see whether can have it replace. tell him its not wat u wanted and u paid so much $$$$ for it

[piero]

Ok... Will call him up later. How long did it take to have it replaced? Think got to push back my tank plans again.

Yes get it changed... IMO bubbles on glass (especially front panel) is unacceptable... I'm sure your tank maker will take up the responsibility It's as bad as buying a LCD TV to find dead pixels on it

[KennethK]

Unacceptable

Yup... I agreed with Jervis. Its me who paid for the tank. And I expect good service and products from the seller. Its customers satisfaction. Getting them to change, I think they would do it, as they need to think of their reputation in this game industry

Thanks for all the advise. Tankmaker (gerrard) is going to take the tank back. Seems like tank was made by David. They going to replace it but going to wait two weeks... My live rocks die liao.... Anywhere I can rent a blue tub?

Just put powerhead for 2 weeks can last?

Yes 2 weeks with pumps is sufficient... if possible, I suggest you run a simple protein skimmer and a FR (phosphat remover)... this is the proper way to handle LR btw

Maybe try to lay some traps too... to catch mantis and crabs

[piero]

Dun have a simple protein skimmer leh. FR I have lah... Maybe buy a lao po macro or weipro for the time being...

Yes that will suffice... and also add much needed oxygen into the curing tank

I have no experience with this nice angel... but do more research before you release it into the main tank
