I just spent the last couple months setting up and stocking my 55 gallon tank. I had a whisper air pump however this past weekend the airline disconnected from the pump over night. The water drained from my tank onto the floor in my living room through the disconnect line and in the morning the tank was empty and all my fish died. That was disappointing and devastating. I was so upset and pissed if at the same time.

Did you not use the check valve?

[@youmadbro7733]

@@SNWxGaming no, I didn’t even Know what the check valve was for and I am a man so, you know I didn’t read the directions.
