Ceiling collapsed and insulation in tank any advice

[Ddsdave]

Hello everyone it’s been an awful morning so far but my tank is full of insulation i immediately turned off the pumps and I’m assuming a complete drainage clean up will be necessary i was wondering if i should do a ro/di water rinse a few times of the sand bed to get all of this ink and chemicals out of there too? Do you guys have any other advice as well thank you so much.

What are the freakin chances man.

Definitely get some water changes done and throw some carbon in there.

get everything into rubbermaid buckets. do a full rinse/clean. The sand i would just replace entirely with new sand though. make sure you use more then 2 though as the main bucket water will have most of the toxins after rinse.

Make sure you clean out any and all tubing/pumps/headers as well as its prob circulated through them and you dont want to release more of this back into the tank after cleaning.

Full evacuation and maybe restart

If that is fibreglass, you have to change 100% of water. Just as the fibres irritate human skin, they will wind up in the fish's gills.
