    Just put a tub under the leak to catch the water and put a return pump in it. ;D

    Sorry to hear. Nobody deserves something like this to happen. Especially something you put so much time and effort into.

    Ha actually this I could do. I have an extra return pump sitting around. But not one that's rated at 1200GPH. I guess I would just stop my overflows and use 2 return pumps.

    So what DID Roger do??

    Well, I can tell you what he DIDN'T do: "put a tub under the leak to catch the water and put a return pump in it" :lol:

    Roger emptied it. Our fish are sitting in our sump and will probably be sold once I get back from NY this weekend.

    :lol: I don't think you'll want to pay the shipping costs. Some of the fish are pretty big and would have to be shipped in a large amount of water.

    I bet!!

    On a side note though, I think I'm going to go pick up a frag this weekend. Maybe a sun polyp or kenya tree that my LFS has in stock, w00t!

    Or maybe just a mushroom......LOL
