man oh man.. i have a large dark refugium.. use to be a large denitrator and recently converted it.. pic is in my gallery .. but anyways.. i have it set up that gravity feeds into the 55 galon vat and then into my phsphate reactro all in the basement....

tonight i am changing some media.. and notice water is flying...spraying everywhere in the basement mechanccal room... the top of the vat had a hair line crack that just started...

now i have a vat full of rock and water...

need suggestions on large holding containers for dark refugium.. the one i had was great untill tonight... large top opening and then had a large ring/clamp that made a water tight seal... guess after a year or two of pressure the top could not take it.. lots of towels...

lucky i was there... would have kept spraying untill 55 gallon top off and 5o so more gallons hit the floor.. getting water sensors for the floor this week ...
