Tonight when I was doing a water change in my 15 gal tall tank (10 gal footprint but half again taller) I noticed a line of what looks like salt flowers along the seam between the glass and the front bottom plastic. I hadn't noticed it before because I had a stack of papers on the table in front of the tank that hide it, although the paper was NOT resting against the glass or the plastic frame. Note: This is a FRESH water tank, not salt!!
Does this mean I am likely to have a tank failure soon??? none of my other tanks have this line of "salt flowers" at that seam. Should I invest NOW in a new 15 gal tank. I KNOW it will be a royal pain to change out because it is jammed against the wall in a corner and has my 10gal betta tank right next to it (which BTW is now doing great thanks to the help I got here with my cyanobacteria infestation). It will have to be drained and lifted straight up.. ugh.... and trying to HOPE that the new tank will cycle OK with the same water, rocks, etc., from the old tank....
Help!! Y'all have been wonderful with your other help... can you help me with this "problem".. before I have to start swabbing the floor of 15 gal of water and fish......
