SRC Member Bob Posted November 19, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2005 Return pipe leaking. Most probably did not apply enough glue or joint pipe too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member daimy068 Posted November 20, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hi Bob, pipes leaking is a PITA isn't it? Happened to me a couple of times when I set pipings for my tank.

No .I'm not sian now as the repair can be done easily.I have no rush in setting up this tank. It will be lagi sain if i did not do a leak test, put the tank against the wall & use salt water.

SRC Member shootsimon Posted December 1, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 1, 2005 What happen bro? After all the hard work and you selling your brand new tank?? Sad man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Bob Posted December 2, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 2, 2005 Reasons; 1) Cannot have 2 tank (operating cost is a concern) 2) Cannot bear to part my exsisting live stock as i planning to set up sps for the new tank.Just found out that my wife love the anemone which have been with us for about 5 years already 3) My Grandmom & my son love the maroon clown fish. Now i felt that the all the live stock in my exsisting tank is like a one big family. Really heartache if just let go like that. As for the new tank ,Is just material. You can have the same Glass tank next time but not the same living reef you once have. Hope i make the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
