broke my 125 gallon =[

[tvbbnumber41]

Alright so i didn't like some of the seals on my 125 gallon fish tank. So me and my dad decided to take it outside and reseal it. On the way outside, on the stairs is tumbled and next thing you know the tank is shattered. Big advice folks, when moving a fish tank up the stairs
WATCH YOUR STEP


i bought the tank for about 200$ on craigslist about a month back so its fairly new so this is a such crap... So now i gotta put my 3 wolf fish in my 55 gallon tank. Two of them are 7 inches and one of them is 4.
talk about over stocked...


i guess i'll just have to save up nd buy another one

Shi* happens! But i don't get it, why couldn't you rip off the seals upstairs? Was that a glass aquarium?

 

[tvbbnumber41]

we don't own the house and the land owner "strongly insisted" to keep away from the carpeting because supposely the last family who lived there had a dog which ruined carpetting and cost him a lot. So my dad didn't want to take any chances with silicone all over the carpeting.
and yeah it was a glass aquarium
=/

Ur dad shld pay for new one lol depending if he dropped it or u did.

 

[12 Volt Man]

yup. new 125+ interest = new 150g tank!

hahaha wait I'm actually strongly suggesting doing so. are 150 gallons a lot more expensive?

 

[chesterthehero]

all depends on the deal you can find..

thats a lot of fish in a 55... your might want to hit up target for some $20 45 gallon rubbermaid toats...

hahaha wait I'm actually strongly suggesting doing so. are 150 gallons a lot more expensive?

actually, they are, because the glass thickness goes up.

eg. in my area (ontario canada) a new 125 from the LFS is $300.

a new 150 is $480.

but its worth a shot!
