Looking at my tank today I realized im getting a bunch of salt creep.....In the bottom front of my tank. If Im right which I hope I am, it means my tanks leaking.

If this is true, (nightmare) what do I do?

I have a 72 bowfront and am thinking Ill just move over to a 75 or 90 but whats the best way to move everything to a new tank? Do I just buy all new sand? Do I buy half and half. This is pretty depressing right now.

Any helps appreciated.

Thank you,

???!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty lame AJ!! You're tank is pretty new so I wouldn't be too worried about using the sand. Maybe just rinse it out a bit using some water change water. Before you do anything though make sure it's a leak! It could just be water dripping from your arm when it's in the tank or something. Maybe put a paper towel down there for a few hours to see of it gets wet.

When/if it comes time to redo it, let me know I'd be up for a tank-redoing party!

That is GREAT!!! LMAO

Sorry to hear about the leakj when I originally read your post AJ. I wouldn't have worried about the salt creep too much, but I was not there to see it. I'm sure you wanted a new tank anyway and you will love the new tank anyway. Should be a win win situation. Let me know if you need help

I tried to tell my wife a new tank against the other wall will allow me to paint the wall where it is now instead of around like I did.
But she then said in that case we should get a new floor. :ambivalence:
