[APD] Re: Water, water everywhere
Thanks to all who have replied both on and off list. I've had the doors wide
open on the bottom and a fan blowing warm air in since Wednesday night. One
interesting note is that this should be acting kind of like a substrate
heater, warming the bottom of the tank. I haven't seen any difference in
plant growth.
One thing about the stand is that it has a piece of plywood which covers the
entire bottom, so I cannot see or feel if the carpet/pad/flooring under the
stand is wet. The plywood, and the stand itself, do not look as if they have
warped much, although I have to admit I hadn't looked that closely at them
before this happened.
Tomorrow I will be doing another water change. We are thinking about moving
the tank and stand while it is mostly empty to get a look at the damage; is
that worth doing, or is the stress to the tank not worth the risk? (I don't
usually change the water quite this often, but I am leaving town on Saturday
night & won't be back for over a week, and I am *thisclose* to wiping out
the last bits of BBA).
Someone asked what kind of Fluval was involved; it was the reactor, not the
filter, that I put together incorrectly, and the filter is an Eheim.
