Ok... so my girlfriend and I were fighting yesterday (quiet down its important to know), and I went to bed early to try to get her retardedness out of my mind..
So while im sleeping so soundly I get a call... at 12:30AM! I answer the phone and im like HELLO!?!?!? Its my girlfriend... she apparently called to tell me she is sorry.. but more importantly I notice my fish tank out of the corner of my eye! My return pump from my sump was shooting out bubbles EVERYWHERE... I tell my girlfriend I gotta go bye! and I hung up... I ran over to the tank and threw open the stand door to examine the sump... the water was WAY below the top of the magdrive pump.. I grab for my RO water and dump some in.. then I walk around the tank examining for leaks... the floor was completely dry... I then check inside the stand for a leak... completely dry.. so I sit in my chair which is next to the tank and notice that even though I poured a bunch of water into the tank the water level is still at the same level on the magdrive pump! So im like well... the sponge in my overflow box MUST be packed with crap or something... so I go to examine it and its pretty darn clean......... then I see it...... A Turbo snail somehow managed to slither its way out of the tank (completely out of the water mind you), over top of the inside skimmer box, and work its way up inside my U tube creating a dam..... that little piece of crap gave me a heart attack! I shook him out and threw him back inside the tank and went to bed.. though every hour I woke up to peek at my tank to make sure it didnt happen again.

The same thing happened to me, my cpr over flow stopped, but when I paniced and added the water that was just enough to start the display tank to over flow on the floor. I dont know what I was thinking my sump was allmost empty but the floor was still dry duh. The water I added was just enough to get me over the top. Man what a mess I was popping breakers left and right. I think you got luckey. hehe
