This morning woke up to find my tank with no power. In “short” found the breaker tripped due to exposed wires on my heater. The Gorilla crab strikes again… anyways;
My question is do I just run carbon? Pretty bad burn smell. Currently the return is not working so I have wave makes in display and skimmer in sump for aeration. Going to pick heater and return pump in a couple hours to get the tank running properly. Trying to see if I need to do anything else or carbon is sufficient.
