[OneTimer]

Got home and found 1 tank cooked 88 degrees the other the timer for the lights never went on the corals had not light for a week!

SPS look white- hoping the others come back!

Dropped water temp in other tank wait and see- going to do some water changes

Having interrogates a 4 and 7 year old you are just going to get more frustrated in the process. My advice to anyone is to get a good controller. I have the reefkeeper lite and the reefkeeper 2 and I love them. They never fail me. I know this doesn't help now but it will in the future. Well worth the investment.

Not if it's hooked up to that same outlet with the light switch it won't help.

Sorry the part where I relocated the pulg to another outlet was omitted. I had a similar situation with my 24g aquapod when it crashed I actually took out the switch and capped it because no lights were actually hooked into the circuit. then I plugged everything back into that unswitched outlet.

if they wont talk, i know some people that can ....


lol...:joke: sorry to hear the bad news.

 

[jaa1456]

I ran a new line just for the tank. That way there are no issues from blowing the circut or any other crap. Only power outages now or equipment failure.

 

[OneTimer]

I have the tank on a dedicated 20 amp breaker- my son shut off the switch from the light-

I am working on stablizing the tanks now-

got the water to 80 degrees

just a waiting game but some things look OK

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

Any fish alive
DO BIG WATER CHANGE IN CASE ANY CORAL RELEASED POISEN

 

[Brando457]

Rich next time let me know man! I'll watch your tank for you jeez.

 

[rkaragozler]

Sorry to hear the news OneTimer, Look on the brighter side, the reason I went in to reefing was because Last Christmas went away for 3 days and the breaker to my back then F1, 7 Line Frontosa tank crahed (the breaker tripped) had over $3000 in fish that died. Best of luck, keep us posted. Need anything?

 

[Crazy Mad Corals]

Sorry to hear .Hope all is well

 

[piranhapat]

I got back last week from vacation too. My central air went down I lost my Solon Tank with all sps and lost two fish. Thank god my two clownfish made it. My other tank was in basement with no lost because it was cooler. Now I set the solon fish tank in basement should of listened to my wife in first place.:headache:

hmm this sounds like a job opportunity lol, fish sitter. think about it, no stress for leaving them for a few days, lord know ive skipped a few get-a-ways cause i dont trust "non-believers" lol

 

[tentacles]

Sorry to hear that about your tank . Don't feel too bad though, there's an epidemic of crashes right now. I went to Long Island for 3 days to celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday with her, and the person who was keeping an eye on my tank managed to let the temp drop to 72, and then knocked almost a whole jar of pellets into my tank causing the NO3 to shoot above 100ppm, killing all the fish,coral and clams (save for a few rics and zoas.)

Not to detract from your loss, but you're not alone (unfortunately )

 

[OneTimer]

Thank you all for you suggestions and wishes

Brando - I will take you up on the sitter duty next time -

A few LPS look like they are coming back - fresh water changes seemed to help and I will have plenty of room to get corals at the swap (if I can wait that long)!

+1 i would get a profilux or a neptune system where you can constantly monitor your tank from a phone or a computer anywhere
