Thanks for the info EmilyB. I'll have to check into that.
It is heartbreaking to see it happen, but it hasn't turned me off the hobby. I am building the 800. My floor is being engineered for it and a whole 24' by 30' room is being designed around the fact that it is being built (along with more space for my plants and a larger tank for my turtle). I have been considering waiting to restock until the big tank is built, but somehow doulbt that I can wait that long without buying something new to put in a fish tank.
However, I will be building things with double redundancy in mind from now on. It is not the first disaster (although it is the worst) I have had in my 10 years in the hobby, and I know it won't be the last, but this particular one will never happen again.
Thanks for the kind words, and keep me in mind for frags for the next meeting. My tank and I will both recover, It will just take time and patience.
