There would be a reward in it for you if yu can get CArol Gulley my victim
aka
Zebulon there and keep her sorry ass there until the cowes come home!
There would be a bonus if you could also snatch up her butthole buddy
Ed Alston. Then USENET would be pretty well troll and trouble free.


Hello;

I have a 210 gallon all-glass reef tank which was just how I wanted it

and
nice and stable. Unfortunately is started leaking Sunday about 5

gallons/hour
out the bottom. I've transferred everything to a 125 fish only and set up

a 75
for the corals, clams, some of the fish, etc which is crowded as hell but

seems
stable for the moment. The tank is no longer warranteed so it looks like

I'm
going to have to reseal the bottom with silicone. Having worked with this
before (like buillding a sump) I know it puts out those nasty vinegar

fumes.
The temporary tank is very close to the one I need to reseal. Even with

fans
and open windows I know it will really stink for awhile. My question is

are
these fumes harmfull to the aquatic life in the temporary tank in the same

room?

thanks;

Bob

(any suggestions for this repair appreciated)
