It finally happened to me. 3:00 in the morning and I hear what sounds like the Iwaki return pump sucking in air, thinking maybe the return got clogged and all I have to do is unclog it, no such luck. The return PVC pipe coupling somehow came undone (I though I had used pipe dope on that section) almost the entire sump water was now on the living room carpet and all I can think about is how my wife said we should put down tile before the aquarium.
I put new pipe dope on the PVC about 4:00 this a.m. and I'll go home to start mixing some salt and hopefully start the whole system back up this evening. I put a small heater in the main tank along with a air bubbler and hopefully that will keep everyone alive until tonight.
If anyone has any opinions about what I should do from this point, please feel free to let me know.
