For some reason when I woke up this maornign I did not feel like going to work, had a little headache and was sore, also just lazy. Was working in my office (right off my fish room) and did not notice anything. Then decided to make some water adn do a water change. Looked at my tank and the water was down about 7" !!!!!!!!!!!! WTF??? Took a few minutes to figure out but what happend was i have a battery operated air pump hooke up and velcroed to the wall behind the tank, it fell off and instead of pulling the airstone out of the tank it pulled the airhose off at the pump. This started a siphon and drained my tank!! Frickin 1/4" hose!! It also got some of the electrical wet( the hose was right above my GFI and they were soaked) Thank god for GFIS or else my heater and pheads etc would have blown. I have things poretty well cleaned up and starting to put things back together. Had 5 gallons of water made up and put this right in, making more now( boy those RODIs are slow when you really need it!) I have 3 airpumps going. Moved any corals that were above the water down. Funny thing is there was not much water on the floor, went down the first floor and can see no water coming through the ceiling. When I went to the basement there is quite a bit of water down there, must be going down the wall. Better than the 1st floor!
I suppose it would have been a lot worse if I went to work but still waht a pain in the @@@. Wish me luck.
