My tank build and progress

Looks great man. I made the mistake of not scrubbing my rocks before I used JB weld, LOL!! Oh well, I have lots of time still.

Thanks man! that stinks, I ended up just buying new dry rock and just throw the old rock in the sump that was there before. Man it sure took some time, took me 3 days just to glue 5 rocks together but it sure is the strongest bond ive ever used. Thanks again for the help
 
Crash

Well my tank crashed. Everything is dead except the fish. I went to key largo and went snorkeling and had the best vaca ever. Then I came home to this. My ato switch crapped out on me and kept adding freshwater, then my skimmer went nuts and kept draining my tank. my ato added 25 gallons of water. Then my bro added more water to the garbage can and it added like 15 more gallons. When I got home I couldnt even read my salt level. I was able to save a few zoas by throwing them in my pico friday night when I got home but they still havent opened. So bummed out. All that hard work gone. On the plus side I was already cycling my 75 so im not out, just set way back
 
Ouch! Sometimes the best contingency plan is a fellow reefer, and sometimes it's not, but at least an emergency contact for whoever is watching your tank if they're not reefers themselves. My wife knows who to call if I'm out of town or something :)

Chin up!
 
Yea jay I for sure should have asked a friend to check on it. Really thought everything would have been fine but lesson learned. my ato is made by reef fanatic and no controlller but am for sure getting one in the next month or so. I got my ato used and have no clue how old it is
