Yup, once again I have flooded the place with salt water. This time, apparently as I filled my sump, I moved the skimmer causung it to fill with water....I did not realize this and left the house. The skimmer filled and exited the tank via a handy , dandy waste water line I installed . The waste jug overflowed and the remaining sump and tank water to the drain mark flowed onto the floor. I came home a hour or so laqter to hear my pumps sucking air.......
Made an emergency trip to Snoop's house for r/o water ( thanks again kev) and then got to try out my wet vac....again.
So I have decided to go skimmerless until I can get a larger sump with some fail safes installed.

Mine draws a LOT of water when it's turned on (several gallons?), so I have to watch out when I turn it on/off or am varying the water level in my sump.

I think everyone needs a waster collection cup with auto shutoff. I should have one coming thanks to Scott.
