Electrical smoke, fire, flood, drooping ceiling in basement.  Big tanks coming down.  I can't get a hold of Fred.  I think I'll put a powerhead in there until he gets home.  Bit frazzled right now.

Susan,
Don't panic. I am completely stuck at work or I would be there in a heartbeat. You're in good hands. I've got some extra space in my tank if you need it. PM if you need anything this weekend. Good luck to you!

It's coming down.  With me traveling and no one home during the day, we can't risk a fire.  I'll start a post for the livestock.

So sorry to hear this  Cry.  Did the pump catch fire???  Or was it another salt creep on the plugs problem?

The pump caught fire.  I think it happened after the durso got plugged and the tank overflowed.  It must have overflowed for a while (only avail time was between 7 and 11 am) because I've got a sagging area in my basement ceiling.

I'm traveling a third of the time with my work and we just don't feel safe to keep the tank up.  We are going to keep our nano and enjoy it.

Darn Susan... so sad to hear. I hope all gets well for you guys. Your nano is pretty spectacular too. Tell Fred I said hi. When ready to start parting, give me a holler.
