Sweet! I am always looking for a diving buddy! I have yet to dive Monterey, but would love to. I only have a 7mm wetsuit, so I might freeze our first time out. My last dive was the blue hole in Belize right before lockdown.

Guys,
Unfortunately, after only 7 years, this 150 gallon tank built by Crystal Dynamic Aquariums started a slow leak on the vertical edge between the front and right side glass panel.
I tried google the company online, and it appears to have been closed permanently. Anybody can confirm this?

Meanwhile, should I shut down the tank immediately? Can this slow leak lead to a catastrophic failure? I don't want the salt water all end up on my floor.
The tank has horizontal glass on the top, about 2 inches wide, to keep the water from splashing out. No center beam.

Get a 150 Rubbermaid asap
That leak ain’t gonna get better
I be seen 150 gallons on the floor….all at once
It’s not a pretty sight or fun issue to have to deal with…in your pajamas!

Ratchet strap the crap out of that aquarium asap. Then go to what Erin just said. Don’t delay. Time is crucial. CDA went out of business. Let me know if you need help.
Yes, CDA is no longer in business.

If the leak is near the top. And it’s strapped. You can actually use the aquarium as a temp holding tank.Strapped.
I will move the livestock to a 20 gallon holding tank and sell quickly. Rest of the setup will likely breakdown and sell over time.
1 yellow tang, 1 colorful wrasse, two cloun fish. Sine easy and simple lps. Lots of alage too
Just keep an eye on the seam.
Keep the water about 2-3” below the leak.

Sorry to see your tank is leaking. I heard CDA closed down due to the owner of their building increased their rent. It’s unfortunate they left a ton of their customers high and dry, but in this case strapped and wet =(
