210 Gallon Tank Leak

[vic5hands]

Tank started leaking on 12/21/21. Have been babying the tank it’s a Aqueon So it’s under lifetime warranty. That’s great . The only problem is that the 14 year old tank is fully matured. The tank is being replaced on 1/6/22 by Jawz Aquarium located in Elmsford New York. Hopefully my corals will not take a major hit. I will post pictures of the replacement

We don’t want to rubberneck at a traffic accident, but photos when you get them will be interesting to see. Sorry this happened to you.

Define "leaking"

If it's a slow drip, many times you can run a box fan on it and the air will harden the salt to form a pretty tough seal. Box fan could take 1, 2, 3 weeks

So was them swapping out the tank covered by the warranty or did you pay them to do it? I always assumed if a tank was replaced under warranty they'd ship you a tank and everything else was your responibility.

Tank Covered by warranty . I paided the rest

Ah ok. I thought it seemed odd that they covered the labor. I have no clue what the labor cost but I bet it was well worth it. I'm sure that was a huge amount of work

7 hours of work and it was cheaper than I expected
