That's good news that the nem is going to pull thru! And like the others, I'm very sorry for your losses.

I've got plenty of Kenya Tree frags if you'd like to repopulate your tank with those. Could also break off a piece of Hammer, it's getting pretty big again.

Hard lesson.

We never use a top-off container larger than what would fit in the sump if our ATO fails.

yikes! Sorry to hear man.. I lose sleep over this worry. To combat Murphy here I too use a smaller ATO reservoir (8g) as well as a secondary emergency shut-off float switch to kill the ATO pump in the event that the water gets too high in the sump.

+1... well mine is 12G

I always heard running a direct line was insane. This is not
Uncommon to hear about over running and flooding.

Sucks. Hope you rebound on the up side.

Sorry for your loss.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

ammonia seems to keep going up... i moved all the rock around searching for dead things that i may have missed only to find big piles of dead bristleworms under each rock. and sucked em up/did a 20g water change. Which has dropped it a bit, but i have a feeling i am gonna have to keep this up for a bit before things normalize. Below it is pretty easy to see where the big water change happened.



the bonus of the day was while moving rocks i did a tally of the fish i could see and All fish are officially alive. Very happy about that as my female lion was very bloated and hiding for the last couple days.
