Headed home to see how bad it is. Wife just called.

Just putting out a feeler for help in case it's bad. Will check back after I see where I'm at with the tank.

i have a 58 gallon tank sitting in the garage that you can borrow if needed, and christy should be home most of the day if you need to go by and pick it up. pm me for her phone number if needed.

His new tank is in the garage still. It is a 55 gal that he was going to use for a sump but he was usung it as a temp tank due to the move and the sale of the half circle.

*UPDATE* I just got off the phone with him. He had some skimmer problems that dumped a LOT of water but no tank leaks. I'm sure he will update after he has a chance to do a little cleaning.

Thanks for all the help offers!

I love MAAST!

My skimmer drained a 1/4 of the tank....I hate skimmate drain tubes!

In the process of putting tank back after tearing it down to clean the mess.

Thanks again.

Glad your tank wasn't leaking after all. If you ever need anything call me since I primarily check the board only at night.

Thanks, Jose.

No...I don't dose. I think it had something to do with the power tripping up several times...I noticed that the lid on the collection cup is not a tight fit so the foam can actually raise it a bit and when the lid is letting air in it skims wet quickly...I don't know though...just a theory. It's skimming super dry atm to prevent another flood.
