600 Gallon Upgrade Build
Just like the title said, it struck me bad last night. I get a call from my fiance and she says that I have a flood and both pumps aren't running. I am thinking to myself, "This cannot be true?". I get home and sure enough, one dart is spewing water out the back and the other is dead silent. But the power strip running the pump is dead silent also. I wish I had pictures to show you but considering I had major gallons of water under the tank and on the floor you'd just have to take my advice. A good person name Sean happen to text me during all of this and came over after work and helped me towel up and mop up all the water from under the tank and on the floor. Sean I owe you big time and you have some serious frags coming your way. Well here is what came of the disaster but multiply it ten fold.
These two sides were flooded to the brim.
This is temporarily feeding the frag tank to keep the purple tang alive
This 1300 GPH pump is keeping the main tank in circulation until I figure out and talk to Reeflo this morning.
Gotta love this hobby.

Luckily no damage. The flooring is vinyl and the base boards are the pvc. When planning this large a build wood was definitely out of the question.
I'm using Mag Floats
