    We bought a new dryer this month around the same time I upgraded my lights. The third time my barkers tripped my lights were off so I figured out it was the dryer . When my power goes down my first response is to turn my bal valves of so my sump don’t overflow and flood the house . Well this last time in the chaos I cracked my 20L glass sump. Big Bummer But Ok at the same time. I have been sick for around 3 weeks now and when I woke and stepped on my throw rug it was soaked my heart dropped as I feared the worst. After careful inspection I concluded it was the sump. I have been working on a new one but was not quite finished with the dividers. I had to move a whole room of furniture and use ingenuity to make a fuge. But its all over and done with and here is a few pictures.

    Good job. It's good to hear that it wasn't anything worse and that you got it all figured out in the end.

    Yes in 99 I had a bulkhead crack on a 125 reef. So I had a flashback there for a second. That time I had to give all my stock to the pet store. This is my first tank since then startred 6 months ago.
