skimmer was off for 3 days

I would buy a faucet fixture, run that to a small rodi unit, and then run the output to my sump or tank for water refills. If you're going to be off that leg for a while, it wou;d be nice to have something close. And then after that, no more buying water from the store. For the salt water change, do the same thing into a bucket, add the salt, let it mix for said time, and get a small pitcher from your GF's cabinet to fill and unfill. You can balance on one led with a small pitcher of water right?

 

yes i can for short periods.

 

How long you down and out of commission? Any 3reefers close to you that could give you a hand? I'm a little far to help out, unless you wanna pay for flights? lol

 

im ordering a second pump for a fill pump so i think i should have things taken care of. They told me 6 months recover time. thank you for every ones input.

 

Ouch. Wish you a speedy recovery man, I've been there and know how bad it is.

 

thanks man how long did it take you to recover?

 

Sorry mine was different just meant a layup. I broke my shoulder and had to have it repaired. I was about 4 months til I was good to do things as normal, but it was much longer til all the strength returned. That was ten years ago. I still have problems with it.
