Oh Jacki, I am so so sorry I know how much work and heart you put into your tanks! At least you were home and were able to save what you could. Imagine if that wouldk have happened while you were at work! Your fish! Your shrimp! Your floors!
Make sure you post up what you lost. I will probably have something I can kick towards to the rebuild Jacki's tank effort!!!
Holy crap!!! Never seen a failure like that before. I'm sure you are devestated. Easy for me to say, but keep your chin up and hang in there and get another back up as soon as you can, you'll feel better.
