Wow what a weekend.....can't wait to go back to work...LOL.
Wife crashed PC and mother broke wrist Friday. Smart phone dies Saturday morning and then last night I go downstairs to this.

Long story short, CA dosing pump stuck on and dumped about 3 days worth in. Salinity, Alk, and pH somehow stayed in safe ranges and no harm, no foul other than the mess of precipitated CA that snowed my entire tank. Corals and fish never seemed to mind. I escaped a true diaster and didn't even have internet to get on ARC and talk it out with the group.
I didn't have much water made up so I changed what I could, skimmed like mad, and put polyfil in sump, overflows, and a reactor. Cleared after a couple hours. Time to program in a float switch to kill my dosers as a backup.
Thanks to Bud for moral support and being the unlucky joker who's number was programmed in my old cell phone:up:
I can't wait to test my CA levels today:)
As a small consolation to myself during this event, I did get a chuckle at my fish (all of which are much like dogs and "tame") that would come to the glass when I approached to tank as if to say "I can't see a dang thing in here"
