I haven't been on lately! First time being on in like 3 days! I just had my hernia surgery today! I am doing great! I can't do much so I have my buddy doing my filter and stuff! >:D hehehe! So I will be post pics and stuff when I am all healed and get the new tank going!

Speedy recovery!
Take it easy...

ouch, glad all went well.

A hernia? Bummer, but glad you're doing better.

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!

I know it happened to my 20g! IT SUCKS! Thank you though Reaper

At least it was only 20 gallons. My first year of aquariums, I had a 75 gallon flood my bedroom lol.

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! But I am happy!

well thats awesome news

That is really good. One less problem to worry about!

Yeah! Super happy! I found a acrylic supply company that is close to my house! I am Going to build a tank to fit my wall! I am going to make a post about it!
