When you get time you can make me two 6" top flanges.

I thought about calling in that favor this morning at 4:25 when my tank was overflowing. My float switch stuck open on the top off. Soaked the carpet for 2 feet in front of the stand. Salinity droped to 28, fish were acting like they were drunk on freshwater. even that green stuff that you like so much turned pure white.
I will be doing topoff by hand from now on, if the wife lets me keep it!!!

no I am all set. I used a carpet cleaner to remove the water, but it was soaked. I think I need to move the tank and lift the carpet to let the padding dry. What do you think?

sunkool , You hit the nail on the head . You need to dry out everything , even under the stand . You also need to flush all the salt out of everything , because it will draw moisture , and stay damp . This is why I don't have carpet any more . Tile is more reef tank friendly . Ted

Is there no end to the water mishaps in this hobby?
