[johnson5585]

Sorry posted this twice in two spots to try and get a quick answer. Have glass all in the tank. What to do?????

Get the glass out.

scoop it all out, don't sit there and pick out the glass. dont worry about losing some of your substrate. just buy some more.

vaccum it out, then put it up in the air and updiside down and spray it out with water. when done with this shine a light across the bottom and you will see if any glass is left. GL what do u have in the tank?

yeah got that much but it shattered and is just tiny shimmering flakes all over the place. It is actually so fine you can see it floating around.

DING! Your fish are more important than your gravel/sand.

two o's, gt severum. I have another tank I could stick them in but it is not fully cycled.

hope you get it all out. next time get the sticker thermometer.

Yeah it sucks I was just thinking about this happening the other day. Should I take the fish out. Are they better off in an un-cycled tank?

 

[pdbrady]

No, just leave the fish. It shouldn't be too hard to get the glass out.
