    So like 2 days later guess what happens? The power went out this morning and thank God I was home. This pic shows how very close the sump comes to over flowing, MAN THAT'S CLOSE. ::)

    Did it stop there or did you break the back siphon?

    That's were it stopped! I was watching it and I was just getting ready to pull out the return line when it stopped on its own and that was with the return portion of the sump little over half full.

    My tanks sits with no lights at all. Taking the fixture tomorrow to work were the companies electricians will be taking a look at it.
    Sold 5 Corals last night for $80. Still can't make up my mind to back out completely or not :/

    You'll want back in, trust me. Keep your equipment if you step back. It will be cheaper when you start back up.

    You're probably right! If I been beating myself up over the idea then it perhaps would mean that I really don't want to get rid of it. I hope those guys can fix it, cus I also don't like the idea of spending $350 for new lights.

    The nice part about the Corals I sold last night is I still have 3 of the 5 I sold ;D

    I hope so too man. If they can't let me contact the company that sold you those faulty lights. I've convinced several companies to give me free parts to equipment ;).

    So you just fragged some of your stuff, I presume?
