In the greater scheme of things, we as marine hobbyists are attempting to contain/maintain a micro-ecosystem within the confirnes of a glass toilet in our living room. There is nothing "normal" about this (a trait I suspect is the most attractive attribute in the first place) not to mention fraught with infinite maladies that can occur at any give time. Nonetheless, the beauty of a healthy reeftank far outweighs these dangers; this is why we are hobbyists. When setbacks occur, we fix, stabalize, and rebuild...its what we do.
Do not think of this as a tragedy but as a learning experience. Exploit all lessons.
You will persevere and emerge all the better from it all.

I will make my own stand and have sensor for the floor so I can detect water on the floor. I bought the stand used since I didn't think I had enough knowledge to make my own stand. But lesson learn time to move on and learn from this setback.

I may need to double check with my friend, but If he's ok with it I would be willing to give you my current tank after I swap.

60 x 30 x 18 and a stand. You'll like the price.

PM me if interested.
