So hear is my story.
So I get home from work yesterday and I hear the pumps and power heads running dry in my sump! :eek: When I run over to the tank my sump was totally empty and the floor around my tank was soaked. What the hell happend? :evil:
Two days ago I'm changing out some water in my tank after treating for cyano, and doing some equipment cleaning. I have this modified Sea Clone skimmer that I've been using for some time, with ok results. I soak it and clean it and put in two new air stones, they are bigger than the diffusers I have used in the past. I have also modified the collection cup to have an overflow drain, which drains into a pickle jar. (never needed any more than that) Well apparently it skimmed over 8 gallons of water out of my tank, which overflowed the pickle jar on to the floor. What a mess, now damage to the inhabitants thank goodness. The skimmate has thickend up a lot over night so hopefully there is no mess today.
Looks like I'll need to get a steam cleaner now. :mad:
