The new tank lost about 20lt over night very little furniture damage. Wooden base frame perfect all painted with an oil base primer undercoat and top coats.

Every thing now in a large car insulated box (Esky)

Several phone calls later, the LFS had aranged for me to pick up new tank straight way from the maker. Fantastic as this meant only driving about half the distance in very bad wintery rainy day.

The name of the LFS is Regency Aquarium Croydon Melbourne Aust.
That is what I call fantastic service.

I'm glad they looked after you Keith.
Hope everything settles back down with the new tank quickly.

That's really bad luck, but at least you're going to get another tank soon.

OH KEITH:#(

I'm so sorry...the loss is horrible:#(at least they replaced the tank, but heck the loss is enough to make me sick...and you had everything going so wonderfully

This means you are going to have to start again with the base and all aren't you? I'm in between wanting to cry and sob, and cuss and scream...
