Never a dull moment in Reefland!

Hear you loud n' clear and know the pain.

Question: by any chance was the freaking power bar one of those "programmable" ones?

I've had issues with those. A few power bumps and some (not all) of the plug-in slots stopped timing process (or reset to nothing, who knows).... lost all smaller life forms in my nano tanks. Beginning to think I need a windmill and solar farm in backyard but city bylaws don't allow total freedom of expression.... dang them to _ell.....

Hope the rest of your day goes better man,

Nope, just an everyday power bar from Canadian Tire plugged into a GFCI.

Of course! If I didn't then who would clean up the mess? First one was when my son decided to rince the dog puke out of her blanket and threw it in the laundry sink turned on the hot water then walked off to have breakfast. The wife found the flood about 1/2 hour later. There was atleast 40 gal on the floor because we had completely run out of hot water. Second event was a broken pipe due to the recent cold snap and me not remembering to take the garden hose off the tap. Good flood that one too, cost me some drywall and insulation. Last one was my ato started to back syphon into my kalk bucket. Put atleast 5 gallons of salty kalk water onto the hardwood floors and out into the hallway carpet. So they all come in 3's don't they? Hopefully I'm done

Night before last I was ready for bed and went down to top up my sump and found water on the floor and the sump down 4" (about 3G of water on the floor). After checking everything I found a loose fitting on the calcium reactor that was leaking, drained the calcium reactor, tightened the fitting, checked the pump and took the opportunity to clean the impeller.
After it was all back together I stayed up for another hour to make sure it wasn't leaking....water was still dripping, Grrrr. Checked everything, touched the cap on the pump and water started pouring out, I hadn't replaced the cap on the pump correctly...so drain the reactor again......I got about 2 hours sleep that night
