    I am very sorry to hear about this. I have a great fear of automating things and this just reminds me why.

    Why would you sell everything? Just use this as a reason to re-scape and re-stock.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. I tend to agree with blumoon reefers, this is the main reason why I haven't done an ATO system. I rather do the "carrying the jugs" ordeal. Once again, sorry about your loss.

    Dang that sucks! So sorry to hear about your huge loss. So glad I don't have a ATO. You should still keep what you have and start over

    I am so sorry to hear this. I couldnt imagine, but I have to agree with blumoon, part of the enjoyment of having a tank is the slow process of stocking and rescaping. You have all you need except the livestock. Just get rid of all the ATO equipment and do everything manually, like most of us in the beginning.

    Both tanks are dead?

    Man that is too bad. I can't believe you are giving up though you have 2.3K posts and have been here for 3 months. You obviously love reefing way to much to quit. Either that or you just love posting on the forums haha.
