So sorry to hear this! Every reefers nightmare. Here we think we build in as much redundancy as we can, but even then Murphy finds his way in.

Holy crap man. That sucks so bad. I'm terrified of power outtages, you never know when it'll happen.

Sorry for your losses Steve.

Yes there is some water damage but it's not that bad. I did actually had an overflow drain added when I rebuilt the fish room however I didn't get around to actually connecting it up to the drain before I left. I also had salinity control ready to go as well but again didn't spend the time on it prior to leaving as I didn't really want to add such things so close to my departure. In hindsight these two things would have saved the tank and prevented damage but it's not worth thinking about now.

The damage is minor as the new tile contained most the water limiting the damage to replacing the carpet underlay in the adjacent room. The basement only being partially developed defiantly saved a significant amount of work and parts that will need to be replaced.
