disaster at my house

[Nanook]

That is cool...I misread your comments...hopefully the lights will be fine and you can get it back up with no probs...if not, someone here will step up with what you need to get by for a while.

Thanks so far I have one light going so I should be able to move everything to the center of the tank .I am i little nervous about the overflow now . The first thing I will do if this all works out is to get this tank drilled .

 

[StupidsReef]

Glad to see things may be looking on the bright side let's keep hoping that the rest of the MH's work too.

Sorry to hear about this. CPR overflow?

 

[DARKSILENTTYPE]

CPR yes

 

[Markk96]

Samething happend to me a couple of years ago, worst purchase I ever made.

If you want to vent. Here you go.

 

[DARKSILENTTYPE]

Well I am going to go to bed now I have one mh and all the t5s so far I going to wait till tommorrow to fire up the other ballast . I am not going to cycle the water till tommorrow so I can keep a eye on it . The temp in the tank is steady at 78 % so I think it should be good till morning

Very sad indeed.
John, let me know if you need any help moving stuff or storing it(add me to the list of people), however I keep optimism that things will at least survive during your transition.

I can offer a hand with the electrical or phone issues if need be. I have wired several residential dwellings and businesses and can make some time this weekend. I am off of the Mexico and Jungerman intersection so we should be relatively close to one another.

I'm sorry to hear about this. If you need help or you need me to fix the electrical problems just ask. I won't charge you or anything. Please install a GFI receptacle and an Arc Fault breaker. I will help you if needed, it's fast and easy. Don't take this as an insult.

I hope all is well, or at least getting better for you. Let us know how it is going, and if you need any help.

I would like to say thank you to very one for your support and help that was offered

Glad to hear it was only Timers and Power cords. The cheaper things of this hobby.

 

[Dert42]

really glad to hear you turned out ok!

 

[scbadiver]

Good to head John. Let me know if you need some help and when. It sounds like definately need to get you some electric on a GFI circuit. Tell me when and we can get it done.

John drilling a tank up right is going to be a pita can you drain it to put on its side? Glad to hear all is well.

Fade is quite right on that score. Much higher chance of shattering the tank too, as evenly distributing the pressure on the drill will be much more difficult, as well as colling and lubrication for the bit.
