Very bad news

[Dubbin1]

The frag tank is a complete loss. I woke up this morning to find the chain that was holding the light up broke and smashed the tank. This also caused the return pump for both tanks and the skimmer pump to burn up. I can not believe that this did not wake me since I am a lite sleeper. Not only did we loose all of the clubs frags but I lost some of my prized pieces that I put in there just lastnight to see if they would grow faster.

Man, that really bites!
Sorry about the loss!

Oh no! That's horrible!

Is everyone/evertything else OK?? Frags are replaceable, your house, family, etc, is another story!!

We'll get it going again!

I knew we should have never trusted Dwayne with this responsibility. I hope my metal halide pendant isn't wrecked.

Other then a broken bulb I think its OK. There were two chains holding it up and the one on the other side of the ballast it the one that broke, the ballast never made it into the water.

I hope so. How could you let this happen?

I stopped by dwaynes this morning and its a disaster, I can honestly say that 20 gallons of water on the floor looks like a alot more then 20 gallons in the tank. This is a real bummer

Its not like I had any control over it. I need to head up to Garys now and spend more money that I don't have on replacement pumps for the skimmer and return for the main tank. I will also have to replace the mag5 that Ron donated and the Blueline bulb that Dave to the tank. Anyone know what he charges for a mag 9.5, mag 5 and a rio 2500? Also does he carry MH bulbs?

#1 HA HA
#2 you gave it away (april fools) with the water laying on the floor. It would have been cleaned up by now.

Nice try guys. My wife just told me she knocked my bike over and I ran out to check. It was where I left it and I realized what today is.

I only wish it was a simple joke. I called Mike right away for advice and he came over while my wife and I were cleaning up. If you remember right, the room that the frag tank is in has a wood floor and it is sealed (nothing for the water to soak into).

BTW I had a killer April fools joke planned but this ruined the fun of that.

 

[MBuck]

What all do you need Dwayne??

Post a list so we know what to provide....

 

[selgado]

Dude tell me you ain't serious.

 

[Kreeger1]

[skippysmind]

Dude, your not serious :eek1:



This has to be an April fools joke! :smokin:
