So I went on vacation for 2 weeks while I was gone my buddy who was taking care of the house found my tank trying to flood the floor once and fixed it. Had no problems after that. He didnt come by yesterday because he knew I was going to be home that night. When we walked in the door much to our dismay we found there was about 3 inches of water left in the tank and it was about 50 degrees. All the fish were dead and I am pretty sure so are the acros. We quickley moved all the softies and anything we thought might still have some chance of survival down to the big tank. The cause of the whole thing was the gravity feed sump I made it got gumed up on the screen for the return and all the water flowed out onto the counter and onto the carpet. Some how the crab and sexy shrimp were still alive and we manged to get them safley into the big tank as well. After all this I am going to see what survives then I think I am going to sell all my live stock and take a break from the hobby.
 
That sux. Sorry to here about that. If you start up another tank, let me know and I can give you some more joker zoa's if yours didn't make it.
 
Sorry to hear about the losses. Always a bad day when you find things like this out. Hope to see you back soon.
