OK, this is Dan. How to have an awesome vacation day:
Step 1. Wake up ready to do some home projects on your second day of much needed vacation.
Step 2. Notice an ominous puddle forming under the display tank. Check for leak at bulkheads, and discover it's not the bulkheads, it's one of the seams on the bottom of the tank. Water leaking at at about a gallon an hour.
Step 3. Move all of the corals to the sump with some of the liverock. Move the rest of the liverock to rubbermaid buckets and siphon about 2/3s of the DT water out.
Step 4. Run to the store to get a couple heaters to keep rubbermaid tubs warm and liverock....alive.
Step 5. While grabbing a quick lunch notice the power in the restaurant has just gone out. Think to yourself "surely our power is still on at home, what are the odds?"
Step 6. The odds, apparently, are not in my favor. While stirring tanks and heating water on the stove to try to keep temps up, think about running to my parents' to get a generator.
Step 7. Power back on - HUGE relief.
Step 8. Call TRS to procure new tank.
Sigh.
