Complete and total devistation!!!!

Well my tank was up and running for three years with out any major malfunctions. We took a family trip for a week and upon our return the tank was dead and the house smeeld terrible and our new hard wood floors and swollen. I lost everything in the tank. I have over $2000 invested in my set up and now it must go. You guys can read my sig and see if there is anything you want. Make me an offer! Everything will be sold. If there is something you need, ask and I may have it.

Bummed!,
MIKE

 

damn! I feel ya bro. Ive been there twice this year. 2 seperate tanks, anything you need, let me know.

 

So sorry.

You experienced the biggest fear we all face when we leave our tanks for any length of time.

If you feel like telling us, what happened?

 

Well as far as I can tell, the auto top off kept topping off. the floor was flooded and the salinity was way below any reading I could get. Seeing ally my fish bloated and floating was a heartbreaker.

 

I am so sorry

 

Did you have a float valve hooked to your RO unit??

 

That is awful...karma for your loss. I hope you are able to start up again some day.

 

I wish there were something more we could do for a fellow reefer than just say sorry in a time like this! Man, that sucks to come home and have what you just experienced happen!
Good luck with what ever road you chose and can't be sympathetic enough for your losses, aggrevation and dejection!

 

Sorry to hear about your tank dude... I think that's one of the main reasons why I've talked my wife out of taking any long vacations.. but I have to say don't give up man put some salt in that water and look forward to getting some new creatures.

 

Sorry isnt enough

I do feel bad for you! Rather the say sorry and move on I have a couple frags that I would send ya to get you restarted. Let me know what else I can do? Not real close being in IL but hate to lose a fellow reefer
