Eric Borneman's tank crash!

[jenniebutterfly]

maybe his wife was mad at him :sgrin:

Hey all,

9. Start a syphon and walk away.

I may be wrong but if he had an ATO and someone started a siphon from the window, wouldn't the result be the same? In otherwords, the ATO would detect the drop in water and fill with freshwater, and if the siphon kept going the ATO would keep filling?

[Deanos]

He says his top-off couldn't produce that much freshwater in that time.

 

[masterswimmer]

He actually says his ATO would only produce about 12 - 15 gallons in that time. Virtually nothing in the scheme of things.

Russ,

You know after reading that I agree with the sentiments written here. What a dumb way to sabotage a tank. With a 700 gal tank that would take forever!

,unless someone witness the actuall reading of his salt ,or is that what we are meant to believe.The truth is within the ppl in his house ,we are only lead to believe what we are told ,JMO

I am very sad that he lost the livestock ,which are the victims in this case

Sure seems like an aweful lot of work to achieve the same results as other forms of 'sabotage'. :scratchch

:Shhh: they're watching us :paranoid: :tired:

And THAT'S the bottom line.

It's unfortunate that all that livestock was lost, but we'll only know what he tells us.

Dean,

I personally think he dropped 10 pounds of beef in his tank. lol!

I think all the fish lived, it was the coral that did not make it.

true, and why replace the water at all, his sump was outside, why not just start a siphon and walk away? :bablefish It just makes no sense. I wonder if the police report is public, I'd like to read what the detective on the case thinks.

 

[marrone]

If it was just a drop in SG then most of the fish could have taken take but the bigger problem would have been all the coral and inverts dieing, not to mention what effect it may of had on the sand bed and live rock. All that waste could have produced some bad stuff in the water and could have killed off many of the fish. I know he did a # of large water changes and was hoping some of the fish would make it.

 

[Josh]

I'd like to read what the detective on the case thinks.

"Am I really investigating a tank crash? I should have gone to medical school."

 

[jhale]

maybe he needs this guy,

 

[masterswimmer]

Jon, too bad that thread isn't still open! That would have been a hysterical post(er).

[pmui]

i think.....he forgot to calibrate the refractometer, and it was really off the mark. In his panic he removed all the water in his tank, and refilled it with fresh by himself...then realize he forgot to calibrate the refractometer. That's my theory.
