[desideria]

oh dear.. hope it has turned out ok... good luck..

[ambystoma82]

how old is your tank ?

[Terryz_]

Thanks guys... I am taking a break, 95% finished... The last part is the worst part... Tired...

[Terryz_]

And I think I found the hole not sure if it is that one..

[Terryz_]

When I realised it is leaking...

[Terryz_]

The only hole I found on the silicon...

The brown part...

[puppet]

All the best!

Don't lose heart!

I look forward to see your new tank, have been a follower on this thread and learnt much!

cheers

Things not looking that good... The fishes are not swimming out in the holding tank... Dunno if hiding...

Dont worry too much. Just get the priority stuff done 1st. Situation will be better, so long as you are optimistic!

[straydum]

oh my i wish you all the best through this ordeal.. i wouldn't worry so much for the fishes though. hiding just after a move should be quite expected of fishes

[Terryz_]

Hope for the best!

Hope so, if not it will be new start for my tank...

Yupz, just hope my favorite fishes make it through...

Vincent came to fix the tank and it is ready for water tml night... And if by monday, no leak, the rocks and sand are going in first for a cycle...

[Terryz_]

It is caused by a silicon eating worm.. Which is a very rare occurance..

This the link that I found out about...

The same way it happened to my tank...

In the thread that happened 5 years ago...

Worm eating silicon

The peek wasnt a friendly sight..

These are the bodies I find.. That is my whole angel collection thou.. Only one possible cause, Ammonia poisoning... Most prob something went rotting and started the whole cycling process in my holding tub...

But cant think of anything that went wrong, bubbling, small pump for circulation and even 2 big rocks for them to hide...

Survival from the old tank is 2 retrofacista, nirgipe clown pair and Marcia anthias pair and springeri damsel, Shifted them to the container with the new fishes with the seafans.....

that's a shame.

good news is all the fishes there are very replaceable. except the flame angel which came from the philippines. flame angels are very rare in the philippines.

the hybrid powder blue can find again, and as well as the other common fishes.

sorry to hear about this!

[MEOWMEOW]

really a bad weekend for terry and that really hurts to see 10 nice fishy together .

[tunicate]

Sorry to hear about your lost Terry. Would you consider going BB to avoid this leakage again?

Good thing is that can be replaced but still got sentimental values, moreover the fishes was with me for more almost a year....

More than that this morning... The other remaining tank also wipeout... Only left the damsels, which was lucky as the damsel are the uncommon ones... But they looked bad in my frag tank... And I did not put in the frag tank is becos, my frag tank is only 1.5ft x 1ft x 1ft... Barely sufficient for my whole tank of fishes...

I actually removed the culprit so I think it should be fine... I will go thru the sands slowly before putting in everything else... I dun think I wanna go BB anyway... If this happens again, CHOY!!!, I will go BB...

Very sad to see this... pity them... Do u spotted the worm? How's the look in macro view?.. Take care ya...

[vinccc2009]

That is really a worst nightmare to all of us that we dont wish! Lesson painfully learnt!

I saw those fishes the other day...healthy and fat...so sad.

At least all your corals and seafan surviving well....
