Hello... I am in some desperate need of quick advice... my 75 sump overflowed... (somehow??) I don't want the bio filter balls to die...I have them submerged in water from the tank right now (Is this right to keep them okay?)If I cannot obtain a wet dry tonight to replace this amiracle can I use a Tidepool and just use the bioballs in it for now ?? I'll have more ???

you should be fine if you want you can put in a power head to move the water around it will help a little

You should be able to keep them emersed into the tank water and should be fine. Be sure that it stays a correct temp and doesn't get real cold overnite.
Anyone else?

Okay I have the bio balls in some tank water... they can get below 78 right? Correct ?? I put my prism skimmer in for some light filtration.. and a power head and heater... any other advice... I am testing the sump for leaks now.
Any more??

If you have a clean rubbermaid container large enough, just put it under the tank, put your return pump in it, run your return back up to your tank, run the overflow hose/piping back to the make shift sump, put in your heater and toss your bioballs back into this sump. Use this until you figure out the status of your wet/dry, and why it overflowed.
You didn't mention if you had any fish or inverts ? That would be my first concern.
