Life's a beach

No really my living room is a beach....


Woke up to my Roomate whom occupies my basement @ 5am, all i heard was "the fish tank dude!"

I grab some buckets and run downstairs, well the vinyl tubing connected to my spray bar had popped off, the filter is an fx5 so it emptied 70gals very quick down to the intake.

Did what i could with a shop vac and towels, now i have a bunch of fans blasting the area. Luckily my basement is NOT finished.

Filled the tank back up and the shoal are fine, thank god it wasn't the tank!




The sub floor seems wet from the basement, but im worried about permanent damage to the structure. Any other tips on how to get rid of the moisture or any advice? Thanks

If you don't pull the carpet and pad to dry it out, you risk getting mold growth.

The thing is the basement is unfinished, and the tank sits right above the basement, so i can see the base board and wood beams from the basement, im hoping if i run a big dehumid in the basement and living room i may dodge the mold issue, plus i just did a big wc a couple days ago so the water was fairly clean...
