| Re: Lynn and Frank's saltwater adventure. Well I woke up this morning and was following hubby to the door (have to walk by the 125 to get there) and suddenly I hear a lot of words that I can't post on RS. I take a step forward and suddnely my feet are in water. This is never a good thing. Water everywhere. Fortunately however water is still in the tank. Whoever created the first overflow has my never ending thanks.
After investigation, lots of towels and use of the wet dry we discover that while messing with the tank last night he did exactly the same thing as I did. The hose taking water from the Aquapod was not going into the overflow of the reef but was instead pouring water into the electrical cabinet then to the floor etc.
So since we both have to go to work, we cleaned up as best we could, turned off the main pump and skimmer and have NSW mixing. The tank is going to have to survive a day with just my powerheads. They are pointed towards the surface (which is now a bit lower) and provide pretty good surface agitation so it is just going to have to do for the day.
Right now all fish, corals, etc look fine and everything is drying. Lots of fans running etc,
Gee I think I am awake now.
I'll keep everyone posted on how things go tonight. |
