I was not meant to have a refugium. Something happened and I ended up with 40 gal on R/O water pumped through my sump into my refugium and onto my dinning room floor.:cry: To say nothing of the fact it really screwed up the salinity. I guess it could have been worse and happened when I was gone for 5 days last week.

Oh no....:( That really sucks. Did it damage the floors?

The plywood was wet, but not saturated. Have fans going hoping it will dry. The vent for the furnace was right there I think some water drained into my dirt floor crawl space (couldn't bear to look last night). I can't imagine having a display tank crashing, I understand why people stop the hobby when that happens.

Hopefully everything turns out OK.

I've seen people set up the whole unit in the middle of a nice looking pond liner,the hard plastic kind with some nice cabnitry around it
