Update (since I think Catherine and Kevin are away at their family T-day dinner now) - I came and got what can be saved. 5 fish, 9 clams, a couple SPS. I think the SPS is a stretch for any to make it (most already gone), the clams might do OK - some are looking a little haggard (many were already toast in the tank ), and the fish seem to me to be doing OK. In fact, Catherine's scopas is picking briopsis off my maxima.

.. the carnage was some of the worst I've ever seen. Good luck sorting through it all Cath and Kevin.

Does anyone have a Sedra 5000 needlewheel impeller I could borrow? My ASM G3 crapped out a couple weeks ago. I had sold my ritteri and had a mostly empty tank and was going to tear down this tank so I hadn't replaced the impeller figuring I was going to offer up the skimmer for sale in as-is condition when the tank was empty.

Seeing as that plan just sorta flew out the window, does anyone have an impeller could borrow for a bit? Or a skimmer? Sedra's are used on ASM's and Euroreefs, if anyone has one of these unused that I could borrow for a few weeks can you please get in touch with me?

Thank you so much everyone for your calls and messages. A huge thank you especially to Tony for running over and taking care of our livestock for a second time. Tony took care of my precious clams in December of 2007 when we had a huge disaster upon our move from Edmonton here to Calgary.

So what happened was a tube came out and spewed almost 180g of water onto our basement floor. There was approximately 3 inches of water in the bottom of our tank when we got home this afternoon at 2pm. Thankfully the floor drain works in our basement, and it looks like the only "water" damage is the fact that I sacrificed a few of my good towels to help soak up the mess.

Our house smells disgusting, our basement even worse. The MHs basically cooked everything that became exposed to air as the water was drained out. We figure none of our rock is live anymore and are expecting to have to start over from scratch.

Thank you again to everyone, and to Tony for the help.
