To avoid me selling it all in anger over losing a fish:evil: , I need some advice. Last night one side of my supply "T" coming from the return pump broke loose , before anyone asks...it was siliconed with aquarium safe silicone. This spooked our most "pet-like" fish the True Perc Clown, who jumped out the back of the tank, between the tank/stand and the wall, and died laying sandwiched between the sump and the wall. All pumps are shut off at this point as I'm still at work until 9am PST. The powerheads are on and the lights are on to keep the water in the tank warm.
Would it be better to fix only where the pipe popped off, or better in the long run to suck the sump and overflows dry, and re-do the plumbing and electrical while I'm at it.
One other consideration...there are still 2 fish, 2 conks, and the entire 150g clean-up crew in the tank.
Thanks for everything in advance....and R.I.P. "Coral" the Clown
