Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Why do bad things always happen when you're on vacation?!?!?!?!
My neighbor went to check on my 75g freshwater while we were out of town and the tank was EMPTY!!!!!! Apparently the seal in the bottom came loose and all my water drained out. Not only was my house saturated, but I lost almost all my fish. Somehow my bristle nose albino pleco and otocinclus were still alive but i lost everything else.
Is there a way to repair my tank or would I be better off just finding a new one? I know this is a hazard of owning an aquarium but I don't want it to happen again. This was a craigs list purchase so I didn't spend that much on it. Although after all 75g drained out, I think my wooden stand is shot too! . I'm a beginner hobbyist so I'm not sure which route to take!
Thanks!!!
