Not on top of my game today

Got up to go to work. Came out of the shower and heard my Tom aqualifter making a small, irritating vibration on top of my CPR overflow. I moved it to stop the noise.

Came home to a flood. I knocked the return hose on the aqualifter outside of the tank. I had a slow but steady dosage of salt water on my basement floor for about 10-12 hours.

I am the smartest man alive...

Damage to your floor is done. How about your fish and corals? Any other damages? Sorry to hear that.

 

Am still cycling.... There's nothign in the tank other than sand and less water.

that sucks. i bet that is the last time that ever happens

 

mommy says iam special no matter what daddy says lol

That realy sucks how are fish ect

what kind of flooring was it

 

It was floating floor and a 29g sump was emptied. Luckily the fact that it was a slow leak means that most of the water was soaked up by my throw rug which looked like a big towel. It's obviously ruined, but hopefully the floor isn't too bad.

now that the tank is empty are you going to get it drilled???? (assuming its not tempered)

 

While admittedly not the smartest move on your part, I am sorry to admit FAR GREATER stupidity in my past. Fortunate for you, yours was not extremely costly.

Glad it wasn't worse for you.

Could have been worse, but glad its not.
