I came back from the four day Thanksgiving weekend to find the entire tank dead. Apparently on Thursday or Friday one of the pumps had a short circuit and the whole system shut down. By Monday morning everything inside was dead. When I tried to turn things back on, I got a big cloud of acrid smoke. I hastily shut it all down again.
Today I am going to sifen? siphon? SUCK out all the stinky water. Should I save the rocks and sand or throw them out too?
My administrator and I agree that it would be for the best if we do NOT try to start the whole process up again so if someone could come out and get the tank and all the equipment we would appreciate it.
Thank you
Becky
