Just got back from vacation and nano atop disaster

[rich nyc]

My display tank was fine because it is a reefer with a chiller apex etc but my nano (20g IM peninsula) suffered since I accidentally set up the ato with reverse flow. When I came back, luckily no flood by my tank had half the water and all fish except my red hi fin goby was dead. Half my inverts and all my shrimp and my lps corals all died. Not sure if I should just put the goby in my reefer and call it quits. It was an expensive endeavor :(

Sorry to hear this. Good news is your main DT is ok.

Nanos are hard to keep bc one thing goes wrong you don't have much water volume to cover minor mistakes/issues

Take the nano.....fill it with ice and beer. LOL. have a grillout

lol. thanks. I did a 50% water change. Maybe I will see if a local reefer is shutting down a tank for livestock. addiction...

So how did you set up your ato? I’m confused how it failed
