How to breakdown and move tank.

Any idea if this is easy to fix?

It's leaking just a little .




Got my filter setup in the dryer utility room area.


The house is smaller and in worse condition than the house we are currently in. I am just trying to be greatful we have a place to stay, but honestly I think this house will motivate us to buy a newer house sooner rather than later.

So it took me a while to figure out what the part is called. I googled icemaker line repair and had to watch a couple of videos to find the name. Self piercing saddle valve. Seems they are prone to leaks. Looks easy enough to replace the whole thing. One video shows replacing just the washer part. I'll see what I can find when I go to home depot/lowes.

Couldn't remember how I had my rocks so I just winged it. I think they look better.

Tank is at 72F. Fish still in buckets.

Put the fish in the tank around 1AM. This morning around 9.5 hours later all fish are alive and well!

I had never seen a (diamond) watchman Goby jump before. Man he must of jumped a foot out of the bucket a few times but landed back in the bucket (maybe I'm exaggerating a bit). Scared the crap out of me. Thought he was going to jump out for sure. But thankfully it calmed down and let me net it.

Glad to see it went so smoothly. Grats!

Woo that’s good news.

Man am I beat. Got the dryer cord swapped out today. Did the same for the stove except there doesn't seem to be any power coming from the stove outlet. Not very surprising since my uncle mentioned specifically that he did not know if the outlet worked. Looks like we are going to have to get a gas stove.
