    Default Damn weather and crashed tanks!!!!

    Due to the snowy weather we have been having, I haven't been out to the system building for a few days, knowing the RO top-up water system would keep the system running. Unfortunately, didn't take into account the sump pump packing up that feeds the connected coral tanks. As I approached the system
    Building, there was the tell-tale smell of the local beach, meaning things had turned bad. It looks like the return pump packed up, meaning the sump water got nice and toasty as the heater were located in the sump and all the coral tanks got ice cold. Dead tank critters, stinky, cloudy water and potentially lots of dead corals (time will tell).

    Those that read this that are waiting on corals from me, give me a few days to do some water changes and let the tank and corals settled, then I will be in better position to say if your corals are ok or refund heading your way.
