Well lets see, a long long time a go (yesterday) I was starting to drive up Island to visit a friend when my cell rang and the kid said my tank was low on water and making funny noise.
So I turned the rig around and headed home to find my return pump had quit. It was no big deal; the sump held it all and the funny noise was one of my power heads splashing a bit. So I took the mag out and found it needed a good cleaning so as it was soaking I was playing with my truck and then it was announced that the carpet all around the tank was wet and we have a water fall out of the bottom tank. After a quick survey I found the problem, I use a power head to take water from my main tank and sent it up top to the refuge where it in turn spills back to the main tank. Well not quite, it spills into the overflow in the main tank (see where I am going). So even thought my overflows had stopped the water from the main tank from going to the bottom tanks, this power head was still pumping water to the bottom tanks. So I ended up doing a 5 gal water change, and re routing the return from the refuge.
This was about the time the tank tour was at Shane's so it was a good thing no one showed up here... mind you, you might have been able to learn a few new words
