Reef Central Blog HACKED!!

Reef Central's Blog has been HACKED!   Is this the end??

       A lot of questions arises:  What is the hackers intention?  Is it monetary?-  How much Ransom Money is being ask.    Or is the Hacker  Tired of RC's rule that this is his way of Avenging...

But with the hackers page claiming to be Turkish,   "HacKeD 1923Turk-Grup//DeLiKuRTLaR" <----- what's is his motive? 

With this happening to RC,  I feel all our blog is vulnerable to Hacks.  Let's play the waiting game and will check back on RC's Blog.

UPDATE:

It seems that the ReefKeeping Blog is not fully hacked.  Only the Home Key link is affected whereby  clicking it will redirect you to the Hackers page.

2nd UPDATE:

 With a compact design,  It would not take so much space in your tank.   It's a mere millimeter  thick,  almost as thin as the iPhone.  A very big advantage comparing to other overflow box in the market today.

 Another uber enhancement incorporated on the design is the flow controller.  You can adjust the flow as well as acting as a silencer to prevent the gurgling sound.

And this SKiMZ uberflow comes in  bigger model for bigger tanks.

can't get enough?  here's some more pictures...  please note that the measuring tape is in mm and centimeter.
