HELP! A maxi mini just commit suicide in a PH. What do I do?

I would also be looking into why the mini maxi took the header into the PH. Mini maxi's font usually move around once they find a home. How long have you had it?

Since boxing day. It is in my QT tank. I managed to get the powerhead apart and it's foot seems to intact so hopefully it will adhere to a piece of liverock again.

sorry to hear about your bad luck
how big is the tank?
if the carpet is still mostly in one piece I would't really worry about it too much unless the the water is cloudy or murky or your corals are reacting.

It's been three days now just running straight carbon and everything is doing great. I have been able to top up with premade saltwater, so knock on wood, I've averted a chemical warfare.

The maxi mini, on the other hand, may not recover. I've tried several times to get it to adhere to various places on low turbulence areas of live rock only to have it curl up in a ball with a small portion of the foot attached.

Dont underestimate the regenerating power of the Maxi Mini.... just leave it in low flow and dont touch it, even if it is balled up and not attached.... Ive received a maxi that looked like a donut, no word of a lie it had no mouth or foot just the ring and it regenerated.... just leave it be.... unless it is melting down and spewing
