Blah tank crashed....

Well The 220 is doing well the red sea is doing well but just went to miami for a long weekend and got back to maine to see the 92 gallon pure white with all the inhabitants dead..... I have been able to leave it in the past for a couple days trouble free and this time grrrrrr. I can only think the skimmer malfunctioned as it was overflowing like crazy and pouring into the sump. I cleaned it when I left the employee that checks the house called me and told me the bad news but this tank is 1yr 8 mo old so it was established. kinda bummed. 1 v. Lion body was size of soft ball, 1 moray eel probally 9-10 in, 1 very small trigger, and the stars and stripes puffer RIP. This was my sons tank that at 10 has bought set up and maintained everything in. He paid for each of the fish and the tank! Dad is going to pay for the rebuild but bummer to see the kids heart broke. The water was in great shape upon us leaving...

 

Sorry to hear.

 

Very unfortunate, sorry you and your son's loss.

Wonder what happend. The skimmer may have just been going crazy because of the crash.

 

My thought exactly about the skimmer overflowing. Regardless sorry for your loss that is heartbreaking for my old self let alone the kids... bummer

K's for your losses

Sorry to hear. Keep your head up and get started on the rebuild.

 

We just changed skimmers and I have seen this one over skim and over flow one time before. the fish tweaked. I think needlewheel is not for me to much adjustment. I am frusterated at this but am thinking of tieing all three tanks together in the basement witha 100 gallon sump. I have all the equpment just not sure I want to do it yet,,,,
