Bad day (1 Viewer)

[Lord Spice]

Today sucked one of my lines in my sump sprang a leak during the night woke up to soaked floor ! Spent most of my day fixing my sump ,drying out the stand ,mixing water . This blows so much and now my skimmer is all out if whack ! And I lost my cleaner shrimp on top of that , just feel like throwing in the towel right now .

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that totally stinks! Don't throw in the towel!

 

[LSUFireGal]

Sorry man. You know you can't throw in the towel!

Don't throw in the towel... It happens to all of us.... The skimmer is probably going nuts because of all of the fresh mixed saltwater you added in.

Been there, done that, and dealt with the wife's attitude! There's nothing like your return pump spraying water all over your floor at 3am to judge how accommodating you better half is! Don't give up! We all have disasters and we all find a fix and move past it!

Man, that sucks. Hope there isn't much damage to the house. You can't throw in the towel. I am waiting to see the finished stand.

Yea that sucks! Came home from work to a huge puddle in front of my aquarium and the breaker blown the other day. My skimmer feed had come loose and emptied my sump. Spraying water all in my stand and out onto my floor( luckily its all tile) tripping my breaker. Will make sure to FIRMLY! secure hose from now on.

Woke this morning to my skimmer overflowing didn't tighten the lid on the waste collecting cup ! My corals look like crap except for the zoas mushrooms and sponges and pulsating xenias all my Leathers look horrible my clam is dead . On a good note all my fish are fine .

 

[Lord Spice]

Lucky I have tile

 

[jhill9]

I am sure people will hold your coral for you if you need it. If you need any help let me know.

Don't feel to bad, I learned that i'll never put live rock in my sump again....

 

[Lord Spice]

Everything looks like crap and I lost three more corals . this sucks did a 60% water change and after I did all that my refractor just died on me . All my fish are great but this has by far been a crappy weekend to say the least .

Can you tell us why? All of my sumps are full of live rock

Mine too, I'm guessing no live rock so it cannot damage any pumps or lines, but I look at it a different way... More live rock in the sump means less water on the floor should a disaster happen!

I believe some live rock shifted and cracked the sump.

 

[Lord Spice]

Anyone have any chaeto that they can spare as mine melted over the weekend crash I had

 

[jhill9]

I have some that you can have.
