Fishies-for-me

The thing is that you let it sit overnight...the condensation may of dried on the tank where there is good air flow and what ran down would of soaked into the concrete leaving the wet spot...but anyhow good luck with the next test run...lol

I've resealed the leaky side for - what is this - the 4th time? This afternoon it will have been curing for 48 hours. I'm going to let it go for 72 hours total before I test it again.

OK, bad news and good news.

First, the bad. The tank leaked.

Now, the good. I completely stripped and resealed it again. It's been holding water for close to 12 hours now with no leaks!

Make sure you carry the tank with 2 people. I did carry one by myself after it has been about 4 weeks holding water and I set it up to cycle and the same night about 3am I had about 25 gals of water in the carpet in the livingroom. Had to move the fish into a plastic container for another week and re-seal the tank in place and let it sit for another week. finally got fix with no leaks.

Big news:

I finally have everything set up! Pictures will hopefully come soon!

Also, I have not one, but 2 goldfish in it! We went to a birthday party and I noticed a black moor in a small tank. I asked them, "How old is your goldfish?" and they said, "I don't know. Do you want him? We don't really take care of him."

He/she has a deformed tail and can't swim very well. It's also very skinny and gets soooo exciteds when I feed them. Any name suggestions? I noticed it's not totally black but rather a chocolatey color, so I was thinking something like Dove or Hershey.
