Maybe it is time to give up.
I put the fuzzy in QT again yesterday because he was gilling again. The fu that was sick before was also not looking good, so I caught her this morning and she was even worse than the fuzzy -- I don't know what the problem is but she went in with the fuzzy.
Then my GSD came up to me and it hurt and I looked down and he had a nose full of porcupine quills so canceled morning meetings and went off to the vet. Had water running to mix up because I need to do water changes on the QT as I am using Furan 2. Called daughter around 2 and asked her to turn it off -- she said the basement was flooded so I sighed.
Got home around 7 and went down in the basement and boy was it flooded. I looked at the fu and she looks terrible. Then I turned around and realized that the reason the basement was flooding was not because of the RODI but because 2.5 basement tanks were basically empty. A pipe had come undone. The 55g that the tanks empty into had about 4 inches of water in them. My huge RBTA was a mess -- mouth wide open cooking under the MH as well as the purple sponge and an SPS. The 75g had about 3 inches of water and the 40b was half empty. There was 100 gallons of water on my basement floor.
I had about 60g of RODI so immediately started mixing it up. I then called LFS and raced over and got 35g from him, came home and added it. The mixed water was clear enough to add in so I did so I could get the skimmer and all of the other stuff running. Then I ran upstairs to eat some food went back downstairs and found that I did not open one valve back up so spilled another 15 gallons. Fixed that problem, making water, and wet vacing. Wet vac is emptying now for the second time.
Did I mention that the fu is dying?
