Hi, it was great seeing you again too

Oh, and thanks for the last minute gift you gave us

I always wanted a bag of air

I have to admit I had a very good laugh over that

Your tank is looking good and glad to hear the new additions are doing well.

If you want to stop by and look at them just send me a message, I'm right in Red Deer now so stopping in isn't a huge journey anymore. It wouldn't be a big hassle at all to plug it into my profilux and give you a demo.

I hope Doug didn't hog it all and at least shared some with you

Things were going well until about 7 pm tonight when water started gushing from my sump.

So 2011 did not come in to nice. Around 7 pm tonight the wife and I were sitting down to some dinner and a movie when all of a sudden I could hear running water, looked down at the corner of my tank to see the worst possible thing WATER POURING OUT OF THE CORNER OF THE STAND.

So out come the buckets and the wife goes running to the pool room to grab all the pool towels and the mad dash was on. Managed to shut down the flow, got the return line out of the sump for my reactor and started to empty the sump compartments. Called Terry for some more buckets, him and Josh come out and gave me a hand to get the sump out and to the shop for repair.

Now I have a temp sump (30 gal tank) running with 1 skimmer and my pellet reactor hope it is enough to sustained the tank, too much livestock to lose and the wife would kill me.

Any idea what caused it to leak?

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.
