did the back up fail too?

Almost the same thing happened when I was in Iceland... frantic roommate phone call saying the pump was running dry and topping up wouldnt help.

I got him to turn off the return and put a hang on skimmer i had. Came home to lots of algae outbreaks and the display filled with heaters and hoses, but no flood at least.

Sorry to hear about the flood, roommates need tank training days. At least with your parents around you have some extra hands to help out with the cleanup!

I got that call once too. From my niece who was house sitting for me while I was on holidays in San Diego. Tank was overflowing and the top off was adding to it...as it turns out my trigger locked himself in the drain line. Little bugger bit her hard enough to draw blood when she tried to grab him lol. The tank was a mess for a bit but didn't lose anything

I have a feeling it better be perfectly clean before they get there.
