Figures, I go out of town to tear apart a mcdonalds, not supposed to be back for a couple days.... 2Am my girlfriend calls me.... "theres water everywhere what do I do?" friggen protien skimmer for a reason I havent figured out yet, starts overflowing and pumping water all over the floor. about ten gallons or better, she just starts unplugging everything, I made a couple calls one of my friends made it over here at 10 am so 8 hours no heat no circulation, I just got home a few minutes ago, looks like I'm going to lose a couple things, my rare flourescing green glove polyps are recceeding. one of my brains look really bad a bunch of my palys are clenched and not reopening. 3/4 of all my zoas are looking bad. even my mushrooms look like $#!T...... If I had been home there would not have been a problem....... this is so frusterating. there is really nothing she could have done she doent know my system and I had just worked from 6am to 11pm so when she called I could barely think. hopefully my friend coming saved stuff. all my fish look good but a lot of my corals dont. I really want to swear out loud. this is hands down the worst thing to ever happen to me in my years of doing this. So a word of caution to coralife superskimmer owners, make sure they are set up in sump not hob because if they overflow HOB style they will emptey the tank onto the floor, at least down to the powerhead.
