Default Water water everywhere...

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. 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.
