    Wow man.

    That's really horrible news.

    Is there anything left to salvage? It sounds pretty bad.

    Sorry to hear about it. Only time will tell. Remove all dead livestocks and do a large water change to start. Check for water parameters and prepare to do water change as necessary.

    once you get past this ordeal. invest in a auto feeder. and fill your sump up all the way so you dont have to worry about evaporation loss over a weeks time.

    lights on timer. check
    autofeeder. check
    evap. water loss. check

    not needing old bro to watch over tank. priceless.

    goodluck.
