Bad freaking day
So I woke up this morning to find water on my floor, my sump overfull, my reef at 23 degrees (normally at night it's at 25), my return pump not working and hotter than hell and my damn Tunze osmolator still nicely has the green light on-- did not have it's warning light on or anything!
I'm trying to figure out what I am going to do about the Tunze because I think the sensors must be furshnugared. I dumped the return pump into a bucket of vinegar water and am praying that it was only lime scale on there. If not I don't even know what I'm going to do. I can't afford to buy a new return pump for another 2 or 3 weeks. Arrghhh! Sometimes this hobby can be so frustrating! Sorry, I just had to vent.

*sigh* Apparently this day just gets worse. It's so pathetic it's almost funny. <weak laugh> I just checked the tank again and there is still water on the floor. The phosban reactor was leaking too.
Ordinarily I would say that the tunze osmolator is the greatest thing since sliced bread Puffluv, just not if you asked me today.

I've been having trouble with the Tunze not working properly for a while now. The float sensor has been getting stuck in either the pump on/pump off position and the optical sensor only works when it feels like it. The phosban reactor is what caused the water on the floor, but the Tunze should have let me know that the water level in the sump was higher than normal when the return pump died.

This is usually how it works, one bad things leads to a whole open jar of nasty. No livestock was hurt from the overflow I hope?

clean your leveling sensor every odd day. mine builds up with salt creep and says its level when its not. its very sensitive so keep up on that. as for your warning noise when it passes your float sensor, check to see if it works. you just need to raise the sensor and it will make the noise. personally i love mine and makes my life a tad bit easier, and it just needs a clean every now and than

Sorry to hear, hope your day gets better. Tunze was really good with us, we had a part that wasn't working and we sent it to them and they shipped us out a brand new part right away with no problems.
