Roommate tried to help.... FML

[reef-keeper]

I really know how you feel that sort of thing happened to me a few years back. Good thing you were at home. I went to work then come home to the front of my tank shattered all over the floor. When all said and done cost of repair was well over $15,000.00. That was the cost to replace the hardwood floor with better water resistant type hardwood. And it took me a long time and a move across the country to be able to have a betta bowl. Today I have a 40 gallon Discus tank and trying to set up a 135 and a 15gallon seahorse tank.

the good news is it was within 45min.... so i think i managed to get most of the water.... i am not pleased with my roommate though.... not pleased at all.. i have banished her from touching my tank ever.... harsh... yes... but it had to be done.

exactally.... SO... you'd thing if the water you're adding to the sump.... isn't being returned to the sump there's a blockage in the overflow right?! WRONG... just add some more water.... I should explain the 6 buckets totalled about 10 gallons. but still... tank level rising.... sure.. let's add another!! ugh.....going home @ 1 to see how it's dried out and check my fish and corals.... i am so not impressed and she knows it.

This is bringing me back to the days where I had roommates... *shudders*

I'm sorry. What a sh*tty way to wake up in the morning.

I hope she added Prime to the water at least. Sorry to hear the news Flash. It's not something you want to wake up to for sure.
