Kind of explains itself. My heart hurts. I have some guys in a 5 gal but I can't get to others. Every ounce of 150 gal is on the floor. I don't know what caused it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of salt. Cords and plugs have a tendency to corrode and heat up or just directly short. It's difficult to overload a breaker and not have it trip so usually the problem is too much plugged into an extension cord or plug strip or as I mentioned a bad connection caused by salt. It's also a good idea to make sure you don't build up too much heat from refugium lights. Most overheating problems aren't instantaneous and simply checking connections and cords frequently can point out overheating before it becomes a real issue. I got a call from a neighbor early one morning that her refrigerator had quit and the cord burned at the plug. The house wiring had loosened at the plug causing it to overheat. It happens sometimes. Let us know what caused the problem please.I came home one morning to find my 150 had started a fire inside the stand. The flames went up the back of the wall and got so hot the bottom panel shattered. Fire and water damage through-out.
I'm just depressed. I didn't have time to save much of anything. Don't know where the leak came from except underneath the tank. Just bought a bunch of hermits and snails and a gyre so one of those may have helped. Thanks for the support guys.
