Well, got home from school today and my 125 gallon...the water in the sump was drastically low and the powerstrip that had all the lights hooked to it was melting or something....smelled something burning...so I unplugged everything and cleaned up as much water as possible. I am not sure how I had a leak...the massive sump on this tank is actually 2 50 gallon rubbermaid tubs connected with like (2) 2" ID PVC pipes...I THINK what happened is something in the sump(filter bag? PVC pipes floating around down there?) got suctioned to both holes, or just one, so water could not flow through to the other sump. Therefore the pump pumped all the water out of the sump#2, overflowing sump#1. Since the water level was so high in sump#1, it overflowed and somehow magically(hav'nt figured out how yet) Whatever was stuck got unstuck and all the water flowed into sump#1, therefore the water level in sump#1 was high enough again? with all that water from sump#2 flowing into it....but no. The water level was very low in both sumps...something doesnt make sence...it is a mystery...a emergency mystery...right now everything is unplugged and "drying" Untill I figure out what happeded..
Emergencys are common with marine aquariums....I think I have around 20 per year...
