Thank you so much to rach of you who responded. Thank you CHris for being willing to help. I was already on my way out to Jon when you called so I missed you, but its good to know you are close by for future disasters. Jon thank you for coming through with a magnificently nasty filter and all the "juice" that went with it. Course, on the way home the bag burst and all that nastiness leaked out on everything in the back seat. I now know why the pet stores double bag. (lol) Floated the filter and what was left of the "juice". Everyone is still alive and looking healthy. Water still hasnt completely cleared up but it looks like it is getting there. Thanks again everyone!
