Saturday morning sucks

[digital-audiophile]

So at 5:00 this morning my wife wakes me up (she was just in checking the baby because she was stirring) she said there was a strange noise coming from the basement and that I should check it out. Well as it turns out my sump had cracked and drained 75% of the water and the return pump was running dry so that was the noise she heard.

The saving grace is that my sump sits in my furnace room and is plumbed into the main tank through the wall so the water simply drained into the floor drain. So I guess my quick fix today is to take an empty 30G tank I have and turn it into a sump. and re plumb.. I guess this is finally the motivation to finally plumb in the 60G cube that has been sitting empty next to my sump for a long time. I've got it on the stand and I bought all the plumbing from western pump a couple weeks back so I have my Saturday project
