My kitchen tanks

[sharis100]

What do you plan to do with all of your corals & fish?

Maybe there is some way to house them temporarily, long enough to get through this?

I have contacted my LFS Premiere Aquatics who helped me out today tremendously- so huge shout out to them!- and hopefully we can figure it out tomorrow. I want to keep all my babies - and hope to put everything back when this is all done.

Main sewer line of house broke and we had a disaster - so, now all the flooring in kitchen is being torn out. So, they need the tanks moved out. I am so sad and stressed. Have no idea what is going to happen. Feel like I have been in a boxing ring and lost.

We had a similar issue a while back - I hope this all gets sorted out. I was lucky enough to be able to have initial flood remediation work done with tank in place - and the rebuild I did myself so I was able to pace it in a way we that we were able to do part of the work - move tanks - then finish.

Unfortunately, since I have hard woods on the entire main level open house plan, they have to pack out entire main level and refinish floors to match which is terrible when you fish on the same level .

Bummer, sorry to hear that. Hope you are able to get it all sorted out quickly and smoothly.

So, in my continuing attempts to save my corals and fish, had the basement wired for power to go live Thursday. Had dedicated GFCI circuits in kitchen which are gone, so now have them in basement.

So the breakdown is today.

Temporary holding tanks up, moving rest of system over next few days- coral and fish safe but stressed .

Congratulations! Wow, so much work! The lengths we go to for this hobby, but it is worth it. At least there probably won't be such a time limit going back up!

 

[sharis100]

Thank you and yes with this holding set up it won’t be nearly so stressful putting the kitchen tanks back once everything is put back the way it was....

 

[sharis100]

Today’s view looking better... I need to change this thread to emergency temporary holding tanks...

So since the frag tank broke, we replaced temporarily with a Rubbermaid. We have the new tank ready to go when the house rebuild is complete.

The kitchen rebuild is finally progressing. Required floor joist supports going in- code change since kitchen was built. They are kind enough to close all the openings each night so no one falls through into basement.

Too much money and never enough time . Thank you!

The sump and refugium are finally almost done for our replacement kitchen tanks. Hoping they will be shipped sometime next week to arrive in time for when our basement will be restored to pre-disaster condition. The goal is to have the system cycling by Thanksgiving. Not sure whether we will make that timeline or not, but it is nice to at least have a goal.

 

[ichthyoid]

Wow! Who did these?

John with Advanced Acrylic in San Diego- took a while to figure it all out - but it is worth the wait! John really worked with me to get everything that we wanted in the system. A Clarisea SK5000 fits perfectly with room to double up. super happy!
