Thanks guys! Appreciate it! Yeah it is day two after surgery been all doped up! Still up and moving lightly! Still can't play rugby though for this season :(. My buddy went and picked up a power head for the 40G and helped me set it up so I can get rid of that stupid bubblestone! Looks way better and it filtering a lot more efficiently! I also cleaned the floss pads changed the carbon and for some reason the tank is leaking out the bottom I believe... So I guess I am going to settle with the biggest tank I can possibly find with in the next week. It is a small crack so it isn't too bad but the towel under the tank is just slightly damp so I am going to monitor the tank quite closely see what happens... yikes...

A small crack in an aquarium can very quickly develop into a much larger problem, leaving the entire contents of the tank on your floor. Watch it carefully for sure, and good luck finding that big tank asap!

Good news! My tank isn't cracked! I got a power head for more circulation in my tank since it was lacking and oh boy is it doing way better! Gilbert seems way happier! Changed the carbon in the filter and cleaned up the floss pads!
But the power head has a line that sits out the tank to help aerate the water and the was popping at the top of the water causing it to drip onto the towel and and led me to believe it was cracked! PHEW that was a close one! :P But I am happy!
