Thanks Guys, its pretty sad, but the lessons learned are valuable. Another shame is that my new build will have (sort of) 3 level heater redundancy. Apex probe, Helios probe, and Helios PTC heater all restricting it from meltdown. hell after this I might buy one of those and make it 4x!

Here you can see my partially filled tank. So far I just have rubble for the substrate, I intend to have both rubble and fine sand, my hope being that where the flow is heavier it will still leave rubble, and where it is not will stay sandy. I skipped imaging a whole bunch of steps, but I drilled my rocks, cut titanium rods to structure them, then used mortar to lock them together. not sure how it will hold up long term, but I made it so I can take large chunks of the layout individually when I need to add or remove corals. Other note, you can see how my MP10/controller are mounted behind the tank, the MP10 should be able to provide a nice surge flow through my rock, my hope being to get that ideal "Torch Sway"

So sorry to hear about the crash. New build is gonna be sweet though. I'm sure we can help you with some corals to fill it :)
