Never owned a new tank, and never had a tragedy. I've had to temporarily decommission and resilicone tanks, though.

I live 40 miles away from a pet store (the tank and hood and filter was 83$) If they botch this one, I will look for a used tank (despite the horror stories I hear)

Champaign tastes, beer budget.

I hear you on that one, I am currently looking for a used tank 210 or larger, or may build my own.

My replacement is due to arrive tomorrow, I have to put off a small job due to "porch pirates" that like stealing boxes.

Ughhh!!!! Anyone ever look up "porch pirate bait box" videos? Shotgun shell blanks are fun!

Yup those are hilarious! I like the one that does it after they get into the car.

With poo:)

Against all odds, my tank has arrived intact and I beat the porch pirates to it! Now for the fun part! (oh, it came with a heater too, everything but the pump, why do starter kits not have a pump? I guess because I brought the cheapest kit?)

Not sure, it has been a long time since I bought a start kit I don't remember, or they may have changed what is in there.

A paper package filled with a light explosive and some paint/dye may be what you need.

Monkey wrench away
