definitely don't want to be the guy bellow him. I see 180 gallons all over the place coming, if that tank isn't fixed properly.
My 180 broke upstairs in Apt.

I'm still not sure if this thread is a joke or not...
I would be draining that thing out and finding a replacement tank or rubbermade tub asap. If that tank ever went, the damage costs would be 10x what a new tank would cost. I've dealt with water damage in renovations, and it can cost thousands. Especially if its on an upper floor.

...and wulfonce is just giving you the best case scenario in case you were wondering.
I've been in the hobby for a while; but I've been a real estate litigation attorney for even longer.
When that tank has a blow-out (the more experienced commenters say when NOT if & I'm defaulting to them) it is going to get very ugly and the repercussions will last years. You'll probable feel relieved (although in debt) when the lawsuits filed by your landlord, neighbours, condo association, etc finally end.
However that peaceful feeling will last right up until you get hit with the complaints filed by the insurance companies who had to pay out on damage claims.
Suggestion:
Rubbermaid Brute trash cans. They're nontoxic, hold a great deal of water and are used by a great many folks to hold their RODI water. To get an idea <http://www.rubbermaidcommercialproducts.com/c34/c42/BRUTE-Round-Containers-c241.html>

My favorite part is when they are talking about your roof leaking... "dont call a repair man, they can cost thousands"....
Aka, don't fix your house the right way, do a half arsed job "patching" it... What a joke! As a roofer, that blows my mind! The roof on your house protects everything you have worked for, and you want to "fix" it with a $3 can of "as seen on tv" product... :thumbup:

Plus If i had this happen to my tank, I would drain ASAP and throw all the fish in tubs untill I get another tank or just rehome them to a friend who is willing to keep them for awhile

Slightly off topic, but I had a Neighbor a few years back who had a "handyman" (not a roofer) take a look at some water marks in his ceiling. The guy told my Neighbor it was just from a few localised ice dams and not to worry.
Flash forward about eighteen months and the poor b@stard is tearing open walls due to rot from a leaking roof.
Possible the only worthwhile thing a learned in law school is that people are called professionals for a reason: don't ask a doctor for legal advice, a mechanic for stock tips, or some clown hawking products on an infomercial for roofing tips.
Roofers like any other professional get paid at higher rate due to expertise & experience.

OP?
We are a community and we are trying to help you stave off a disaster.
So an update would be appreciated.
Red tails gonna need a new tank eventually anyways, buy a bigger tank and use the 180 as a reptile enclosure!
