thats the worst about them hob filters they have to die sometimes and you never can tell ,thats why i keep 2 small ones side by side . a few weeks ago one of mine sprung a leak and leaked onto a powerbar , it set it on fire and everything was shut down, i was lucky i kept a filter,heater and powerhead on a different bar as well i think a water change and some carbon will do wonders, any losses???

Eh, none as far as I can see. In fact everything (including the new stuff I got today) has full polyp extension. I'm just hoping this isn't just the beginning of something bad.

Everything is probably going to be just fine.

I once had my return pump quit on me and it took 2 days to get parts in for it. I kept the water in the sump aerated but completely forgot about the water in the overflows. When I turned the pump back on the whole house wreaked of rotten eggs..... the livestock in the tank never even noticed

Thanks guys. Aside from being stinky it looks like everything is fine. I still did a really big water change to just be on the safe side....and everything actually looks waaaay happier after that.
