A Plumbing Nightmary.

15 gallons on my new apartment floor!!! Ok so now that I ahve a few of you reading thins is what happened. So got bought my 75G from somebody and had to add a new sump. I had somebody from my LFS help me move it. On the return pump he put the tube into the female PVC. I knew that he didn't glue it so I could take it off for cleaning. So the water must have been slowly working against it until it came off in the middle on the night. I have a 30 g refegium setup and the wall that lets the water overflow also faled allowing most of the water to be pumped out like old faithful.
I wake up to the worse airpumping sound you can ever hear. I had to move my whole 75g again alone within two weeks.
In all I only lost one flameangel. A sorry lose but if that was all then things are ok. I think he got electrocuted since I lost my Wave Maker Pro as well. So there are a few problems that I need advice on but I ewill stop into my LFS fist to check my water again and see what they say. Plus I'll send pics. Don't worry, I did fix the plumbing. Leason learned.

I'm not mad at the guy. I was but ---- happenes. It mostly sucked since I had to rent two of those snailshell fan ($60 each) and a carpet cleaner ($30). I also lifted my carpet and replaced a good sized amount of the foam ($40) and don't forget the glue ($10). If my landlord know what I did me and my girlfriend would be on the street for sure. Beginners luck.

For sure it's the fuse and I have been looking for the right size but it's a rare one. That's why I say I only lost the Flameangel.
