Arrrrrrrrrgh….Well it was bound to happen. And of course it happened at 1:00am. The overflow lost its siphon and approx 5 gals overflowed onto the floor. The good news is my wife was still up and got me immediately so I could shut everything down.
Really need to get that tank drilled!
The interesting thing in all this was mixing the new salt water. It had to be quickly so I used the immersion blender from the kitchen. It worked amazingly. Mixed and aerated the water at the same time. The salt, Salinity, was actually clear when I was done. It usually takes several hours to overnight to clear up but using the immersion blender the water was clear within minutes. Pretty cool!
