All of you livestock is at least okay right? Cheep water-on-the-floor sensors and alarms are available as well as water level sensors that can be mounted to the top of your tank.

Yea, the tank that overflowed is an older display with only 1 corner overflow. The Main display has 2. I have 2 floor drains RIGHT there, but the lousy concrete finishers made them the highest point in the basement.... dumba$$es. I am going to be breaking out the concrete by the fishroom to add a 3rd drain, where all the water likes to pool (yep this isn't my first flood But its difficult cause there is in-floor heating lines. Do you know where to get those flood sensors/alarms from? That would really come in handy.

Oh, yea and livestock is alll good.

I bought some basic sensors (called GRI 2800) on ebay and wired them to my Neptune ACIII but if you're not into all-in-one controllers there are also these flood alarms: http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=ro-flood
