![]() I've been really curious as to why you added your salt to a tank full of water. I'm sorry and apologize if you already know this, but you should never mix up your saltwater in your tank. Have you put any live rock in your tank yet? You dont need to take out your powerheads either. Just position them different. Make sure there is a it of a ripple on the surface of the water. As another member posted early, if you put some rock in your tank it will help "break up" the flow on the sandbed.

![]() It did clear, unfortunately tho, I left the R.O. unit running before leaving for work-on and forgot to turn it off. I was nearly an 8 hour shift at work, when I got a call that there was a "water leak" coming from my unit, and came to over $4,000 worth of damage in 2 different units-mine and the neighbor below.
Spent my entire weekend emptying the condo to rip out the carpet and the underlay. We've had fans in there for 2 days now-buying new underlay today. The tank tho at the time really upset and wanted to let it go-has been moved to storage in our underground storage unit. Gah! we were getting so close! everything has to be on hold while we wait for insurance to call us back. |

![]() I'm so sorry to hear that. Nothing worse than going through all that work and someting like this happening. I hope insurance takes care of it for you.
Do you think you will try again? |

![]() I will, I was so upset when it first happened. I knew flooding is always a risk, and really, I was waiting for it to happen-but not to that extent-especially when it was preventable. Eeverything is out right now as we redo the condo. It wouldn't have been a big deal had it been plain water-but it was salt water. Im thankful I didnt have any rock yet.

![]() Glad to hear that. It is so exciting watching things grow and interact.
One low tech trick I use so that I don't forget to turn something on or off, is that I set a timer that beeps at me. The beeping reminds me I have to take care of it or reset the timer if necessary - so far has worked great. |
