Default Sorry for the loss

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you lost a fish. Those flames are so pretty.

Last summer I was away for two weeks and my father and law was watchine the tank. It was something like 32 degrees for pretty much the whole time. He rigged up a metal beer chiller coil to my kitchen sink and put it in the tank. He ran ice cold water through it for a couple of hours and hooked the other end up to my sprinkler to water the lawn. He was so stressed when we got back that he said he would never look after the tank again until I bought a chiller. We lost a ton of coral over those two weeks so I started my search on Ebay. I found an aqualogic drop in chiller for 500 canadian including shipping. It was totally worth it and sometimes you can find them for cheap enough if you are patient.
