flood stories

[Buccaneer]

Actually happened only a few days ago ...

I built a dual beckett skimmer and hooked it up to my sump ... finished it late and set it to half way mark on the 6" x 18" first riser and went to bed ... checked it the next morning and no change at all ... went to work and asked my wife to look in on it every now and then ... no worries all day till about 5 pm she is making supper she decides to take another look and it had overflowed the cup AND the 5 gallon bucket that it drains to from the cup ... all over the floor in the fish room

So she is calling me on the phone to try and shut it down while supper is burning on the stove and sopping up water all at the same time ! ... helluva a wife I got

Beckett is running like a champ now and pulling all kinds of junk out of the water ( did not need to run both becketts yet )

Cheers
