This morning, I checked on my tank and found the auto-top off had freaked out an dumped two gallon of kalkwasser in to my tank over night. Ugh. I am like what heck is going on. ph was at 8.5. Not to bad. Things were ****ed but ok.
I looking around this evening trying to find out what the heck happened when I spotted one of my BTA in fuge. :shock: What I am guessing happened, is that BTA crawled into my over flow (over the guard fingers) and got sucked down the over flow pipe. It must of blocked the pipe for quite awhile causing the auto-top off to kick on a drop the kalk in. Stupid thing anyways. It looks to be in pretty good shape considering.
I left the light until this evening, so the ph is back down to 8.4. No permenant damage. You just never know.
