Need Help!!!

[darren241]

I have @ 125g setup with a 30 gallon sump. Well my protein skimmer decided to overflow and tip causing about 5 maybe 10 gallons to leak onto the floor and base of the stand. I got everything dried up and removed the protein skimmer. I didn't loose enough water to make the return pump shut off which is good I guess.

What should I do now? Do you think the tank stand will be okay? I cut a couple holes in the bottom to ensure everything was dried. It's just a small partical sheet nothing structural. Do you think I should worry about the stand and it's integrity due to the water?

Attached are pictures of the entire tank set up.

If you have fans, blow air at the bottom of the stand. It will wick out over time. Is that laminate flooring or hardwood?

It's laminate. I'm already prepared for it to warp some.

Not much you can do besides adding fans to help with the drying and observe. Hopefully you don’t have to do anything drastic with the stand.

What do you mean by wick out?

Air blowing on the stand will pull the water out as it evaporates.
