A Catestrophic Failure But Not a Catastrophe

So at some point today one of the dogs broke the 2 inch return line for the main aquaponics system. This was a catastrophic failure but due to our good design it was not a catastrophe, all it took to fix it was gluing the pipes back together and filling up the IBCs. Due to good design nothing drained completely, all the fish and plants survived and repair only took about 10 minutes. Refilling the tanks took about 30 minutes while two beers were consumed and plans to prevent recurrence were made.
