Getting out of Saltwater Reefing
It's with a lot of regret and ****ed off'ness that I'm getting out of attempting to build a reef. It took me over a year to build everything, do some reading, spend hundreds of hours searching and reading, and it flooded, and you know what-I'm out.
I knew it would happen at one point or another, but after living on planks, in shoes, and having no wall between our master bedroom and living room- I'm still trying to financially get back on my feet after I flooded our place. That killed it for me. That was all it took, but I don't have the heart anymore to try to put this back together, I won't enjoy it knowing it really doesn't take much to have a repeat. I've thought about this, but I'm very sensitive to disappointments and those types of stress. I shouldn't have gone into this in the first place, I had no idea. I'm out. Wanted to thank all of you, who spent hours helping me out(especially Scott-you were amazing). Thank you to all the PMs and phone calls to help me set this up. I have just listed everything on the web to sell as a whole. I just want it out of the house. Some of you might be interested, even if all you want is parts, buying everything might be of value to you just for some of the main components(resell some of it separately-whatever). http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-pets-othe...AdIdZ307181413 I'm really thankful I had you guys around, thanks again

Sorry to hear what happened. I'm rather paranoid about these things so I put an extra bulkhead at the top of my sump and attached a hose that goes directly to a floor drain. This way if anything goes wrong and float valves fail the excess water will go to the sewer and not my floor. Just food for thought if you want to give it another go. Totally understand though, wife would kill me and sell my tank if I caused water damage to the house.
