So I finally got around to transferring my 20 gallon tank to a 75 gallon tank. Everything was fine when i started to fill it up no leaks looking good.

Now everything is in place a get my emperor 400 filter ready.... but wait whats this?! No Bio wheels! No cover! what is petsmart selling me here. And to kick me while I'm down I start hearing *drip* *drip* Yeah on of the bottom corners is leaking that's great. Well now my fish are back in the 20 gallon while this 75 gallon is just sitting there AGAIN! I feel bad for the petsmart employee who has to deal with me tomorrow.

At least for the hour it was set up it looked great.

Welcome to Fish Lore Peffico. So sorry to hear you are having difficulties. Hopefully you'll get everything resolved soon. When you go to the pet store, make sure everything is inside the box that is supposed to be, before you leave the store. It will save you some time and heartache.

Oh wow. How disappointing. I can't believe they sold such a defective product.
Good luck with your return today

Oh NOOOO! That's terrible. I hope they throw in some free extras for you for all your trouble. Just a quick suggestion for when you put them back in a new 75-- running your 20 gallon filter on the 75 for a couple weeks will greatly reduce the risk of cycling.

Oh, and welcome!

Welcome to Fishlore Peffico . Can't believe they would do that. That's why I don't go to Petsmart. I hope that you get the 75 gallon up and running soon. And a Fishlore rule, if you don't get pictures everyone will hate you. Naa, I'm kidding . But I do hope to see some pictures soon!

MMMK wellll I have everything running now.. They threw the silicon in for free so that was nice. And yes the 20 gallon filter is running with the 75. I'm excited cuz my red tail pleco and pictus have room to swim. When everything is settled down it will be time to add more pictus .

I'm working on videos of what I've been going through maybe I'll get to putting them on youtube... eventually

Now all I need are some more decorations woooo!.
