Today my little bit was getting the stand into the space at the wall for a visual inspection.
Moving over the spare FX-5.
Finding the source of 2 leaking things.
One was a 5G SW tote leaking, then saw more water on the other side in between the two SW nanos, figured I must have spilled water. Cleaned it up.
Later, thought it must have been more water than I thought and cleaned up more. Then later saw more water. Then cleaned up and moved a couple things to check - all the filters and electric cords, lines and air tubes were dry. Floor was wet still, or again?!? was not sure what was up
Was so annoyed and dried it up again.
While I was still moving things around I saw a new puddle forming and wondered if the glass tank sprung a leak in a seam.
NO. It was the spray from the air bubbler [being bumped closer than usual to the surface] condensing on the underside of the acrylic lid and ever so slightly dripping in a clear stream from the acrylic clip that holds the lid on the rimless tank, because the lid was hanging off centered over the outside of the rim just enough to catch the outer side of the clip. The tanks are just a couple inches from each other and it was like an invisible stream of water.
Very unusual circumstance. I did not see it on the glass. Only found it when feeling around the bottom edge of the glass looking for the leaky seam.

Back to the "new" SW tank. It is REALLY heavy and there was no one around this evening able to lift it with me. Also the tank stand must have lost one of its balancing feet and it rocks somewhat, and isn't level now. Need to check that out now.
AND I do not think the tanks planned set up looks right, so I am probably needing to switch back to plan B.
Switch 72G to the left and the 80G to the right. 2x the work, and it is so heavy, 72G will have to be emptied 3/4 of the way to slide it.
Will it never end?!?!
I was supposed to be filling the 80G SW, not still moving it around Monday.
Edit: Also narrowly voted myself down on an idea to drain and move the 72G at 10pm by myself. Instead emptied the 46G of the last 1/4 of water and magic erased all the inside and outside of the glass sides and rims. The stand got a little extra love as well. Looks pretty good.
Moved the 80G stand out of the way as well. Wiped if off.
Magic erased the outside of the glass of the 72G, trim and rim an some of the stand.
Wrapped up the light and cords and heater from the 46G which were stacked in the corner. Figured it would save some time in the later half of the day tomorrow. 3 steps closer!
