[Flash]

SO It's 6:30.... I'm sleeping, and my gf screams at me that my tank is overflowing.... I jumped out of bed run down stairs, cut the power grab a bucket start scooping... hardwood floor is wet, rug underlay i have under the tank is sopping... I yell for towels and out little green carpet steam cleaner... my gf calls the roommate who sent her a text and had already left for work and she her defense was "well her tank was bubbling so i added 6 buckets of water and it still wouldn't stop" so I sent you a text to let you know and left.... I turned the pump back on and opened my valve to my overflow fully and a snail pops out into my sump.

I spent an hour trying to get all the water up I could. Opened the window beside the tank fully, cranked the heat and have it pointed from the vent at the foor by a piece of glass.... soaked up as much water with towels and rags and am now using news paper under the underlay to try and draw as much moisture out as possible. I checked my salinity, thank goodness it was at a level it can afford to drop a bit but now I have to try and get someone to cover for me so I can go home at lunch and see how the situation is coming.... my fear is the moisture trapped under the stand. nothing leaked into the basement... i went and checked that first.... should a drill a hole into the wood my sump sits on and blow a hair dryer into it??

my first major tank oops... and only 4 days before my parents come to visit... GREAT.... ugh....
