No idea, I had all the flow off for feeding some of the new Acan Plus and the gush!

I did how ever reinforce the corners that split with a strip of acrylic on the inside so I hope it will not happen again.

Did your wife not suggest to reinforce the corners that haven't split yet?

She didnt have to already doing it

I am just glad we were home or I would have come home to a MAJOR disaster.

Wow! Glad to hear you sorted it out without any casualties. Do you run your sump at full capacity? Like, full up with water?

Yikes! sorry to hear that Good thing you were home and able to get it under control and that the fish and corals are fine.

Doug's a good man so of course he shared

So it looks like my temp sump is doing the job, temp staying @ 82, pellets still tumbling and skimmer skimming. The only thing I am not liking is some small bubbles coming out of the returns.

Hope to have the sump back in tonight, after a cleaning and leak test.

Good to know everything is ok.

You can thank Steve @ RCE for the contents of the package

I am putting the sump back in tonight with my new Reeflo Snapper pump I got before Xmas. This will double my return flow and the only positive thing to come out of the sump rupture.
