Has anyone else ever found a dead bat in their sump?

I know I have bats up in the siding between 2nd floor & attic. But the sump and tank are not on exterior wall but in a closet that used to be basement stairs on the 1st floor (house c. 1870s). It seems like it must‘ve come up from the basement… but how did it even get down there?

Anyone need a fish bubble bath?

Am I wrong, pr are you not supposed to use soap to clean an aquarium. Also that mop looks old!

How much time do you reckon I have left until this IKEA drawer thingy gives in, and floods my house?

Should I be worried? This has been there for at least 6 months now... and has not moved.

V=49l

I'd think 50something kilos the whole aquarium...

(Yes, the net is dry.)

Seen on eBay - Aquarium with 'fitting' shelf is what the add says

Is it just me, or does this also stress you? How is this shelf "fitting" for them? Is this actually fine?

Edit: so sorry, my tired brain did not realise the board is from the shelf. Thank you all for being so kind about it!

silicone line

I got aquarium, but I noticed this line in silicone between glasses. I think it means they are not properly siliconed together? Do you agree or I am wrong? I am already draining this tank dry.

Silicone question/concern

Hello. Just purchased this aquarium and selected the one with the cleanest joints. No signs of bubbles.

Today i started the leak test and all the seams now look like this. They are an odd shape for bubbles. Please advise what this is, why it is happening, and if i should return the aquarium.

Thanks!

PS. It is 93 degrees outside and very humid - the water added was probably 55-60 degrees. Just in case that is relevant.
